Digital camouflage

Digital camouflage is the use of small micro-patterns as opposed to large micro-patterns used to create a design of effective disruption. In traditional camouflage the large blotches of color with sharp outlines are easier to see, with digital camouflage the blurring of the edges on the small colored micro-patterns makes the outlines and the effect is harder to define. The name digital camo refers to the coordinates of the pattern, which are digitally defined, along with the set of colors used. Most non-digital camouflage patterns use some form of digital color set but the difference is that they do not use digital coordinates.

An example of a very effective digital camouflage pattern is the Canadian CADPAT pictured above.
