Yeah I guess it does. Only in nature though. In citiy it has the opposite effect

There is city camo too. It utilizes straight edges instead of round edges, since cities have lots of straight edges and nature has few. Camo just breaks up your outline which stops the mind from perceiving you immediately.

To an extent. The real purpose of camo / patterns is to break the silhouette of the human. The eye is really good at picking out "people shaped" objects. Confuse that even a little, and you're fucking golden in comparison. It's not just blending in, but not immediately being identified. That split second of additional brain power it takes could mean all the difference.
