Abstract
A multispectral camouflage fabric having a camouflage pattern containing a least a first, second, and third color. Each of the first, second, and third colors contain at least one dye and at least one of the first, second, and third colors contains carbon black. The camouflage pattern has a short wave infrared (SWIR) reflectance pattern and contains first, second, and third reflectance zones. Each reflectance zone has an upper and lower reflectance zone boundary and the difference between the upper and lower first reflectance zone boundaries is approximately 10 percentage points. The difference between the first and second zone and the second and third zone is approximately 10 percentage points. At essentially all wavelengths within the SWIR portion of the spectrum, the first color falls within the first zone boundaries, the second color falls within the second zone boundaries, and the third color falls within the third zone boundaries.
