Digital camouflage are a type of camouflage patterns combining micro and macro patterns, often with a pixellated look. The function is to provide military camouflage over a range of distances. While the term is usually associated with the pixelated look of many of the patterns, not all multi scale patterns are pixelated, and not all pixelated patterns combine micro- and macro patterns. The term is also used to refer to modern camouflage patterns created with the use of a computer, some of which do not conform to the stereotypical pixelated patterns.
