M90 camouflage is the camouflage pattern used by the Swedish armed forces. In addition to the standard pattern, desert and jungle variants have been developed for the international peace-keeping missions in Afghanistan and Liberia. The pattern employs hard lines of geometric shapes in order to create a camouflage pattern effective in the temperate forests and plains of Sweden. M90 camouflage comprises four colours: dark green, medium green, and dark navy blue on a light beige-coloured background. While blue may be a confusing choice for a tactical uniform, this colour was chosen to simulate dark shadows in nature, which are never truly black in colour
