Camo is short for camouflage which is an effect which uses any combination of materials, coloration or illumination to hide something or someone by making them hard to see or disguising it as something else. Much like an iguana can change its colours to blend into the background to avoid its prey or a soldier wears this type of clothing to make it hard for the enemy to spot them. It is often muted colours such as greys and greens that are used in this effect because of this.
