5-colour desert camouflage (trial)
Czechoslovakia

With the collapse of Soviet authority in 1989, Czechoslovakia regained its freedom through a peaceful 'Velvet Revolution'. Young nations keen to assert their identity will often be quick to create new camouflage patterns for their armed forces.

This particular desert camouflage was tested in 1991 but never officially adopted. It is a five-colour pattern, featuring large, irregular blots of red, pink, light green and pale green on a sand-coloured background. It looks rather like a water-colour painting.
