Many years ago, i bought some dye and added my own version of ASAT camo to some regular carhart coveralls. The dye diluted and faded pretty fast. Had to be careful what one washed them with for some time otherwise the other clothes would have brown, green, black tinges. Ultimately, wasn't worth it.

I think the best darkness, patterns, etc depends upon the view the animals have. If you're up in a tree skylined, some light may prevent you from looking like a big dark scary object. If you have a dark background, that white might stand out like crazy. My wife went deer hunting the first time last yesr with a Ravin R26. She had good camo with a lightweight leafy camo suit (with the leaf cutouts that flutter) over top of it. Had deer within 10 feet of her for some time. Obviously, wind was favorable and she didn't make sudden moves; but she was sitting on a tripod folding chair on the ground!
