I did find this though, but I dont know how true it is and I cant really imagine soilders running round in pink either:
"The US Airforce conducted extensive experiments for camouflage and dtermined that the best night camouflage color is pink!
Here's why: energy from the sun causes a molecule to vibrate at a frequency that we perceive as color. When the sun goes down, colors don't get dark, they fade to colorlessness. All that remains are the luminous colors at the edge of our ultraviolet visual perception. Pink appears to blend naturally into this "moonlight" effect by eliminating contrast and blending naturally into the background. Black actually stands out at night, particularly in the sky, on the ocean, or in the open. Total black only occurs where there is no light whatsoever, a rare occurance in nature and one where the color of your camo makes no difference at all because no one can see it anyway."



And well done on getting rid of that bullshitter Mitchell_Leary by the way, I was getting tired of his farfetched stories.
