Abstract
A bark camouflage cloth mimics the rough bark of a tree. The camouflage pattern on the cloth consists basically of rough, highly elongated vertical ribs of a first light or countershaded earth tone, vertical channels of a second, darker earth tone, and black vertical shadow edge markings along one side edge of each of the ribs. Islands of a third color, e.g., a greenish hue, are interspersed among the vertical ribs. The pattern of vertical shadow edge markings changes from left to right across the pattern to create the illusion of curvature of a tree trunk.
