'''Camouflage''', also known as cryptic coloration or concealing coloration, is a form of deception that allows a person or object to remain indiscernible from, or "blend into ", the surrounding environment. Examples include the battledress of [[UNSC Marine Corps|UNSC Marines]], [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper|ODSTs]], [[UNSC Army]] and some coatings on weapons. | '''Camouflage''', also known as cryptic coloration or concealing coloration, is a form of deception that allows a person or object to remain indiscernible from, or "blend into ", the surrounding environment.

[[Covenant]] forces use armor coloration to differentiate rank, with no effort to employ passive camouflage methods. As a result, Covenant armor is useless in that aspect. Instead, [[Covenant Special Operations|Special Operations]] [[Special Operations Sangheili|Sangheili]] and [[Special Operations Unggoy|Unggoy]] use [[active camouflage]] systems for stealth operations, which is far superior to passive camouflage. | [[Covenant]] forces use armor coloration to differentiate rank, with no effort to employ passive camouflage methods.
