camouflage

Often a type of color-scheme designed to make the wearer blend in with the scenery, to almost appear invisible to others.

Camouflage was actually developed by the French in 1915. They had a unit called the "Camouflage Division". Now the whole world uses camouflage for their BDU's.

Camouflage is a popular color when referring to military-related clothes. Camoflauge even comes in a wide variety of colors, all designed to meld with scenery; different camo-patterns are designed for different backgrounds and scenes.
