In 1982, Major Clendon Daukes of the 4/7 Royal Dragoon Guards developed a new camouflage scheme for British armoured vehicles in West Berlin — working from cardboard cutouts placed against his office window at Smuts Barracks, observing how traditional organic camouflage read against the hard horizontal and vertical geometry of the city. The result was the Urban Paint Scheme: rectangular blocks of white, grey-blue, and brick brown, every edge straight, every angle ninety degrees, sized at a standard 18 inches regardless of vehicle type. Applied identically across every vehicle of the same type to defeat Soviet crateology — the practice of identifying units by unique markings or paint variations. Adopted across the Brigade from 1983, it remained in use until the Brigade was disbanded in 1994 following German reunification. In 2017, the Royal Tank Regiment repainted Challenger 2s in the scheme for urban combat trials and found the geometric silhouette break-up still confounded modern sensors.
