how does “urban camouflage” military uniform work?

Question

I understand that a camouflage uniform could work for someone hidden in a forest as its patterns help you blend in.

but, how the black and grey “urban camouflage” pattern make soldiers harder to find in an urban setting? I don’t see how that helps you blend in with the walls of buildings

If you look at some of Ukraine urban combat footage, you will see the cities are mostly blown to pieces with lots of dust and debris. While original buildings might have been of various colors, the debris is mostly shadows if gray and brown from mud. Thats why it works. It wont realy work in undestroyed town
