Evoked in the Britanny's thread, is the blue colour adapted for African hunting.

I remember reading something about that in African hunter magazine, I had a go and found it, an article of Dr Don Heath in the number 3 of 2005.

I hope Dr Don Heath won't frown at my quoting him.

"I learned very quickly that most of my parks game scouts struggled to see blue. A man wearing green or even government issue camo they could spot hiding in the thickest bush, but a man wearing blue overalls was far likely to be spotted by me before any of my men. Most of the local poachers knew this and blue denim overalls was the preferred camo. Time and again this happened, and when there was heavy poaching activity and my men wanted to move unseen thy ditched the new army unifroms I had scrounged for them, tossed aside their dark green parks shirts and put on the blue overalls pinched from the mechanical section. In discussing this with many ex soldiers, from both sides in our bush war, it became apparent that plain matt blue was regarded as more difficult to see by african troops that any of the European designed camo. For white soldiers though, it was the exact opposite. If there is such variation in men......what about animals."
