Context. Spectral variability is the main tool for constraining emission models of BL Lac objects. Aims. By means of systematic observations of the BL Lac prototype PKS 2155-304 in the infrared-optical band; we explore variability on scales of months; days; and hours. Methods. We made our observations with the robotic 60 cm telescope REM located at La Silla; Chile; and VRIJHK filters were used. Results. PKS 2155-304 was observed from May to December 2005. The wavelength interval explored; the total number of photometric points; and the short integration time render our photometry substantially superior to previous ones for this source. On the basis of the intensity and colour; we distinguish three different states of the source; each lasting months; which include all those described in the literature. In particular; we report the highest state ever detected in the H band. The source varied by a factor of 4 in this band; much more than in the V band (a factor 2). The source softened with increasing intensity; in contrast to the general pattern observed in the UV-X-ray bands. On five nights in November we had nearly continuous monitoring for 2-3 h. A variability episode on a time scale of τ 24 h is well-documented; and a much more rapid flare with τ = 1-2 h; is also apparent; but is supported by relatively few points. Conclusions. The overall spectral energy distribution of PKS 2155-304 is commonly described by a synchrotron-self-Compton model. The optical infrared emission is in excess of the expectation of the model in its original formulation. This can be explained by a variation in the frequency of the synchrotron peak; which is not unprecedented in BL Lacs. © ESO 2007;
