And gaming tables are weird -- you never know what'll blend in.  A
friend
of mine painted some bunkers in this really garish "camo" scheme:
mustard
yellow, medium blue, bright red, and bits of silver.  Amazingly, when
surrounded by the lichen and the alien (converted aquarium plants) trees
that we used for science fiction games, it blended right in to the
terrain.
