Camouflage Question

[tinlail]

Inspired by the scheme below, and urban camouflage patterns in general.
He is what I would like. A plane with four grey tones overall. With the top of the plane having the three darkest tones, and the bottom with the three lightest tones. What I am unsure of his how to handle the two colors that the top and bottom share should they wrap around? Or would it be better if all colors change in the transition from top to bottom.

Any thoughts?

Been thinking about this....

Since this is Mav's thread, I've just done a couple of colour swatches, rather than actual profiles:



On reflection, I think the second scheme is more aesthetic, but the first one is probably more disruptive.

Thank you for your thoughts, I also don't want to take over Mav's thread, but he has artistic talent, and I don't. This was the other way of doing it that I thought of.
Following his notions of Lozenge I found this link http://domhyde.wordpress.com/tag/swedish-splinter-camouflage/. I think the Lozenge as being a very small pattern, and splinter as a large pattern, but I don't know if that is the definition.

Tinlail - your scheme is the same as my second one: each colour becomes one shade lighter at the upper/lower division line.

BTW Jorel62 has a present for you here: http://www.whatifmodelers.com/index.php/topic,21829.0.html

I can't judge colors at all sometimes, thanks
