But I guess when it comes to comparing different color-schemes ACU will fall way back on other patterns. At least we found our first "No-Go-Camo-Pattern" right now. :smack: ...pointing out on color-effectiveness! Cut and functionality is quite good on that new Combat Uniforms.

ACU is the first camo designed specifically to work against the human brain, and NOT directly blend into an evironment. Obviously some adjustment is needed, but i've taken pictures of my ARPAT with various backgrounds and it gives the optical illusion of changing color with each background. It's more effective if your in the enemy's peripheral vision, lighter colors (grey, sand, acu gray green) are less quickly detected by the human eye than dark colors (loam, forest green, black), which is also why theres NO black in ACU, black is not a naturally occuring color, and shadows are GRAY not black.
Despite being a pretty terrible airsoft camoflauge (it's best used at ranges of 200 meters), its absolutely amazing at night, I had people looking for me, and they couldnt spot me until they were 15 feet away.
