Min-lyoung Choi
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to find basic data for development of the most effective military camouflage cream color in the South Korean nature environment. Thus, we analysed the colors of the images of mountains in northern, central and southern regions collected by season - spring, summer, autumn - and classified them into the color shades of khaki, brown, black - common colors in military camouflage creams of 7 brands now in market. And chromaticity adjustment was carried out through the comparison of the camouflage effect of each color by brand, to find the colors best suited to natural images. The findings of the color analysis of military camouflage creams shows that khakis are all dark except for one product, redness was lacking in greenness except for the two products, and yellowness was also high for the three products, requiring color adjustment. Browns are very bright or dark because of deep differences in brightness by product, all products are significantly lacking in redness, and yellowness was significantly higher in all products, standing in need of the overall color adjustment. Blacks are also dark except for one product, which are deeply different in brightness by product. Redness was high except for three products, while all products are lacking in yellowness. And the overall color adjustment is also required. In conclusion, the colors best suitable to the camouflage in the South Korea natural environment are as follows: khaki L*=37.6, a*=-11, b*=18.6, R=82, G=93, B=60 and 4.91GY3.65/3.23 on Munsell color system; brown L*=30.6, a*=6.6, b*=13.4, R=89, G=69, B=54 and 7.44YR2.98/2.45 on Munsell color system; and black L*=18.6, a*=0.48, b*=5.3, R=52, G=48, B=42 and 3.21Y1.8/0.87 on Munsell color system.
