I took 233 images of north american forests from bing images which included some forests not from north america due to inaccuracy of the search and first removed all the enhanced images, which looked like photoshop or professional work. I only kept the amateur looking photos. I then removed all blue and black color from the sky, which was mostly background daytime or nighttime color.
The remaining images I blended into a single image using unfocus tools, and after hours of rendering and extra blending I achieved a near total mix as you see here.
This image is what came out, it's basically olive drab, but notice how dark it is even after removing all the black from the night sky. Normal olive drab is very light, whereas this is much darker. This is a summer color by the way, no snow. Anyway since there a shitload of varieties of green in nature (every plant has its own) green is really difficult to match so I rejected it to get at the underlying color which is easier and more stable across forests. This is more or less the ultimate uniform background color, BURGANDY. Laughed my ass off.
Anyway post your own camo stories.
