Black. I'm surrounded by concrete so if I ever haft to blend in, black is the best option.  Hence the color of my plate carrier.

I always liked the VC tiger stripe but I think night time ops go to the "Digital Blueberry" .

The grey digital cam the army used before multi cam.  Unless you're in the desert urban then anything sand color.

I think Atacs is better in an urban environment.  I realized that I didn't do a good job explaining myself in my OP, so here goes.  There a many visual cues in our everyday world that our eyes key in on.  One of those things are well defined edges to objects, they tell use where one object begins and ends.  Like where a sidewalk ends and the street begins.  Our eyes naturally look for these edges to define our world and help up navigate.  So if your camo has lots of well defined edges, it naturally stands out to the human eye.  If your goal is concealment from the naked eye, you'll want to pick a pattern that has shapes that naturally blend into one another.

Color is also a consideration.  Despite what you might think, an urban environment isn't just grey.  While the public sidewalk may be grey, what dolor are the buildings?  Are they what you would call grey?

No one is coming, it’s up to us.

Legislation should never be about depriving law abiding citizens of something, but rather taking those things away from criminals.

The UCP is a POS camouflage pattern, I was so happy to get the OCP Scorpion W2 uniform. The OCP reminds me of my dear Woodland pattern from years past.

I like the old night desert pattern also.

LAPD swat rocks atacs . HPD swat uses od/ranger green.

Kryptek for me. Mandrake, highlander, or Typhon.

Hard to beat a worn in woodland or tiger for the islands.  OD or ranger is a good solid color.  Black is not so great, even in an urban setting.  As far as I know LAPD D platoon is still lapd navy blue and black.

I personally like (spray painted my guns) black/khaki/ dark green.

I got some gray I wanna test. Prob gray/ jungle green/ black.

I guess it also depends on your own environment. I live nuuanu/pauoa so gray, black, green, khaki works well for me vs someone in say kahana valley. A lot of houses are white/ sand color by where I live.

Back home I loved the natural gear, prairie ghost, trebark, and mossy oak brush camo patterns. Everything there was mostly brown.

I haven't got to go hunting in Hawaii yet, sadly.

Oh boy, something that I like to collect.
Besides Multicam:
I have a Russian Gorka-3 and those things work fantastic and are pretty neat, you can get them for around $50-80 (depending on where you order from) for both the pants and jacket together shipped from Russia (about 1.5 weeks to 3 weeks).
Pencott Greenzone and Badlands, Flecktarn, Russian partizan, KLMK, Berezka do pretty well as well as ATACS-FG.
I also have a set of Russian KZM sniper suits (dark green version) and they work pretty well too, and a reproduction German WW2 camo smock (they look ridiculous but they're generally reversible for different "seasons" and do a great job breaking the human silhouette.
M81 woodland works fine if you know how to use it as well as British DPM

Supposedly in the attached picture mix/match of camo since I'm new at this:
Grassy picture: (Left) Partizan top and multicam pants, (Right) Gorka-3 jacket and multicam pants with a multicam sniper veil. It was a rainy and cloudy day in a grassy field
Forest picture: (Left) Multicam set with a home made ghillie "hood" made with fish netting from Ben Franklins and burlap, (Right) KLMK oversuit top with 5.11 pants in Tundra color

As for urban environments, I'd say tan/coyote would work pretty well. It really depends on whether you're breaking your outline like wearing a hooded smock or an Isareli Mitznefet or baggy camo clothing, whatever. Generally light and flat earth colors (tan, OD,)
Heck you can buy those winter white parkas and dye or spray paint them to fit the environment.

I have some stuff in Coyote and some in OD,

I figured the Coyote can be spray painted whatever olors i needed to in a pinch and the OD looks ballin and when combined with the right Velcro patches can change the perception of others,

 I have this patch that i like right now.
