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

Multicam Black is meant to be “authoritative” and “intimidating”. I don’t think it’s meant to blend it.

It probably has some utility for breaking up your silhouette but any dark fabric would probably do the same.
