If green shades are the easiest identifiable to the human eye, why do we make camouflage patterns with lots of green shades?

Camouflage isn’t meant to make you completely invisible but rather juuuuust hard enough to spot till it’s too late.

For an ELI5: take a box of crayons of various colors of greens and with a white or black sharpie and put a small dot on the tip of each one. Put them in a big pile of green crayons and stand 5-10 feet back. You now have 10 seconds to find them till you beaned with a paintball.

For a fun IRL example go to the zoo! Go to a critters exhibit known for its hiding skills and try and find it without someone pointing it out. It’s surprisingly difficult. I was a few feet away from a big cat and didn’t even notice it till someone pointed it out.
