Greek Lizard CAMO is a camouflage pattern used by the Hellenic Armed Forces (Greece), adapted from the classic French Lizard (Leopard) pattern first introduced in the 1950s. Greece adopted its own version in the 1970s, modifying the horizontal brushstroke-style design to better suit the Mediterranean terrain, incorporating darker greens and browns over a tan base for improved concealment in forested, rocky, and mountainous landscapes. This pattern has been worn by Greek Army units, special forces, and police units, particularly those operating in border security and counter-terrorism roles. Similar variations of Lizard Camo have been used by countries such as Portugal, Brazil, and Cyprus, all of which based their designs on the original French model. The version of Greek Lizard CAMO featured on CAMO HQ is inspired by this distinctive military pattern, preserving its effective design while adapting it for collectors, tactical enthusiasts, and commercial applications.
