Camouflage Color Values
What Does Camouflage Mean?
Camouflage belongs to the yellow family of colors. Yellow is the brightest thing in daylight, which makes it impossible to ignore and easy to overdo. School buses and hazard tape exist to exploit that visibility. In artwork, small amounts of yellow energize a piece; large fields of it tire the eye surprisingly fast. Being on the dark side, Camouflage adds weight and depth. It suits text, shadows, and grounding elements more than wide-open backgrounds.
In the ISCC-NBS color naming system, Camouflage is classified as a olive (nearest centroid: dark olive, #403D21).
