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

Note that you’re not supposed to be invisible in front of a nice clean office building with glass walls and a park bench next to it. You’re supposed to be hard to see from a distance among rubble. There’d be a lot of dust and concrete debris in an urban battlefield. That’s where the urban camo comes into play.
