Multicam! Duh! The army has switched from ACU to Multicam because it's that good. And many special forces groups around the world use it too. Even the British use a multicam type pattern.

Marpats are good too. Whatever matches the environment you're in.

Are you going to keep the ACU's? Don't know if you would want to do this since they blend in so well in your hometown, congofal put a 8 fl oz bottle of kelly green rit dye in the washer with his ACU's and they turned out really good:

Modified ACU (by myself to blend better in the woods)

Yup that works too. Too be honest as long as you have a color similar to environment, it will work for airsoft since the ranges are so close together. Darker colors (OD, Navy, Black) work fine in temperate and lighter colors (Tan, Coyote) work fine in arid. In airsoft, camo is personal taste or for a certain impression, not really for blending in. If you want to blend in, jump in the mud.

Honestly, camo does matter, when you want to be sneaky. Black and blue are the worst. OD is the best overall/any environment camo. Specific camo is best for specific environments. Marpat, DPM and M84 woodland are best for the PAC Northwest
