Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The effectiveness of camouflage is based on the Gestalt principle of figure-ground, which involves the ability to distinguish an object (figure) from its background (ground). Camouflage works by making it difficult to separate the figure from the ground, thus blending the object into its surroundings.
