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

So I think this is a fundamental misunderstanding of camo as a function. You’re not supposed to always blend in like a ghilie suit, as much as you’re just not supposed to look like a human outline against the backdrop.
Urban camo is surprisingly effective at doing this. There was a photo of some Korean soldiers doing urban training and you had to LOOK for them in the photo because they were crouched by a wall and a shelf and didn’t register as a human pattern. I can’t find it unfortunately but maybe someone else will have it.
You’re not gonna use it against a blank wall necessarily, but maybe you’ll hug a pile of rubble and fade into the outline of the pile, or you come around a street corner with a bunch of shit on it and you look more like the backdrop than a person.
All you really need to buy is enough time to see the other guy before they see you
