The calm before the storm: Swedish soldiers await the signal to attack. These troops wear the M/90 camouflage pattern — a 'splinter' pattern of dark navy, dark green and medium green on a very light beige background. [Image: militaryphotos.net.]

M/90 camouflage
Kingdom of Sweden

The Swedish M/90 camouflage is a splinter pattern that comprises four colours: dark green, dark navy blue and medium green on a very light beige background. Although blue might seem to be an unusual choice of colour, for a tactical camouflage pattern, it was chosen specifically because it simulates shadows.

Camouflage uniforms in this pattern are currently issued to personnel serving in the Swedish Army (Swedish: Armén) and Swedish Air Force (Swedish: Flygvapnet).
