Gear Color

What is your general opinion on apparel color for blending into urban settings? Do you think Wolf gray offers anything over black or is just a fad? What is more versatile?

[AR-n-Ky]

My opinion is black is the worst color in every, time, place and situation.

Black stands out in almost every lighting condition, except total darkness in every environment.

Light olive drab, and tans will be less noticable everywhere. Gray blends far better than black everywhere, city scape, Suburban landscape or in the field as in woods and semi open areas.

Also, in camouflage being too dark is far worse then being a little too light. With lighter colors, just stepping into shadows will darken you up, but no amount of sunlight with darker colors will lighten you up. You will be just a big dark very noticeable blob for all to see.

Or put it another way. Thank deer. Look at how hard it is to see them, in the woods, fields, road, day or night. Because they are a nutrual natural color, shades of tan/gray/brown.

Speaking of deer, the color that stands out the most to me isn't the white on them. It's the black. I see the black first and the fastest.


But what do I know. I just spend alot of time outdoors. Oh and driving in probably the most deer populated county in Kentucky.

Blend in how? In an urban setting you're least noticeable if you look and act like everyone else around you.

Blending into the environment as in concealment? Or blending in with people?

100% this. Just look normal.

Dress like a 90's operator. Black jump boots, a field jacket, rayban sunglasses and a tactical beard.



And everyone will just think you're a hipster. The perfect camouflage

Probably plaids in muted colors in most places.
