How Does Camouflage Work?
Camouflage works by disrupting the visual cues our brains use to identify objects, making it harder to discern the shape and outline of an object against its background. This is achieved through color matching, pattern design, and sometimes, by using materials to mimic the environment. Camouflage patterns are designed to break up the outline of an object, making it difficult to see the edges and overall shape. This is achieved through mottled patterns, where different colors and shapes are mixed together.

Are Plaid Patterns a Form of Camouflage?
Plaid patterns, with their geometric shapes and color variations, effectively break up the solid outline of a human figure, making it harder for animals to perceive a distinct target. Some argue that plaid patterns, especially those with a mix of large and small check elements, share similarities with modern digital camouflage, which also aims to disrupt the silhouette.
Mimicking Natural Patterns:
When the colors and patterns of plaid are chosen to match the surrounding environment, the plaid can help blend the person in with their background.

Applying Camouflage Techniques
THE MERGE
Modern Camouflage - Traditional Plaid
Camouflage Techniques
Mimicry: Camouflage patterns that are designed to mimic specific natural elements, such as limbs, leaves or bark.
Disruptive Coloration: This technique involves using a variety of colors and patterns to break up the outline of an object.
Countershading: This technique involves using lighter colors on the underside of an object and darker colors on the top, which helps to reduce the contrast with the environment.
By morphing a modern camouflage with a traditional plaid pattern we were able to develop a unique design that would incorporate all of these camouflage techniques for the ultimate in visual concealment.
