To add on to the other comments, it depends on the location. If you’re wearing camo in a forest then green will help you blend in more. I think the Navy uses grey/blue camo. The army uses tans and browns in desert regions as well.

Additionally, nowadays the old camo with the large amorphous blobs isn’t used anymore. If you see current military camo, it’s made of tiny squares. Keep in mind camo isn’t just used to confuse the human eye. This is to camouflage not just from people, but from drones and satellites. The resolution of a lot of the satellites used for war is a few centimeters or so. So by making the camo squares smaller than the resolution of the satellites, they’re basically making themselves invisible because the drone can’t tell that that’s a person. Just another advancement in camouflage technology to go along with the different colors for different regions.
