Note: The chips for camouflage colors shall be used for general color matching purposes only.
The specifications for camouflage coatings contain requirements for infrared reflectance which
must be met in addition to color. The color cards (chips) for the camouflage colors will contain
pigments chosen for their suitability and compatibility with the color card coating and, therefore,
have different infrared reflectance characteristics than those required for camouflage coatings.
Merely matching the color chip for color will not be sufficient to assure product acceptance by
the contracting activity. For further information, contact for camouflage colors only: U.S. Army
Research Laboratory, CARC Commodity Management, ATTN: AMSRD-ARL-WM-MC,
Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD 21005-5069.
