Are these "trend" colors or do they actually perform some tactical obscuring in a certain environment.
Both maybe. Plus it's new.
Standing around in an urban environment with an AR isn't blending in. And I would think if you were in some sort of "sneaking around an urban environment at night" type of thing (be realistic with yourself), I would think movement would give away your position more than whatever shade of grey or black you have on.
Same deal with any other color, or why the civilian in a carbine class comes decked out in multicam stuff. If people think it looks cool, they'll buy it.
Aesthetically I am digging the whole grey/black thing though.
Browsing Arc'Teryx's website, I don't see much except for the theta AR in moonshade, but there are a couple of other colors that are close. Nothing on the LEAF site. A bunch of different shades of grey in this years commercial products though. "Iron Anvil" looks like it would be a match for the HSP carbine.
