Color pools
Use the colors available in the map to prepare your dummy. Exact controls and mixing remain unverified.
Paint, Color Pools and Surfaces
The verified loop is simple: paint your dummy, match a map surface, control your outline, and avoid drawing attention. The quality of a specific spot remains a player decision.
Quick answer
Match more than color
A good surface supports the painted color, a believable silhouette, partial cover, low traffic, limited movement, and a usable exit.
Walls
Large flat planes can support color matching, but an exposed outline or busy route can still reveal you.
Floors
A lower profile may help, especially near an edge, but camera angles and traffic can increase risk.
Objects
Nearby geometry may break line of sight, but a strange body outline can look unnatural.
Decision checklist
Before you settle into a spot
- 1. Compare the color. Large contrast is the fastest warning sign.
- 2. Check the outline. A correct color does not hide an unnatural silhouette.
- 3. Watch the route. A frequently checked area raises risk even with a good match.
- 4. Limit movement. Choose a position you can hold without constant correction.
- 5. Keep an exit. Plan one believable escape before the search reaches you.
