It's close, but I'd have to rate it number 2. In the early/mid 70's the
U.S. 
Army started experimenting with IR defeating paint. Go to your nearest
game 
shop and buy a bottle of the florescent yellow and florescent green,
paint in 
a woodland pattern and you've got a pretty good approximation. I'm not 
jokeing. I saw this in the field at Fort Riley, Kansas. I only wish I
had a 
photo to back me up.
