Military uniforms are designed to help the soldier blend in with the environment he/she is in. Dark green, olive drab and black are mixed to create a shadowing effect that will blend in to common folliage. white is used in a winter environment, and tans are used in a desert environment.

What were the color of the uniforms?

In general, Italian uniforms were GREY, but not the Grey-Green like the Germans. Their uniforms were a fine gabardine material.
