It is generally beneficial for animals living in wide-open spaces to have skin or fur that is colored similarly to their surroundings, since there are few things to hide behind. This helps predators track their prey unnoticed, and it helps prey more effectively hide from predators. Thus, natural selection has favored white and grey tundra dwellers, since the tundra is sparsely forested and usually snowy.
Similarly, camels may be sand-colored because the desert is their primary habitat.
