The Camouflage portfolio of 8 screen prints gave Warhol a chance to work with an abstract pattern that was also easily identifiable by Americans. To enhance the recognizable aspects of the camouflage design, he used bright Pop colors. This print features a slight stray from the traditional greens, with additions of blues, signifying the start of a progression away from subtlety into vivacity. Warhol’s play with different color schemes in Camouflage gave each print its own individuality and character. This print is characterized by neutral shades of forrest green, beige and cream, with accents of lilac.
