PS:. If you are backpacking, you need to consider the sweat and ventilation necessary.
While still or packing meat, you must go with zip buttons, or snap mid layers. Think breathable over insulation. Carry an extra layer in the pack for still /stand. When you move with a heavy pack, you'll be tempted to trudge on when you should shed a layer. That is one reason why I described the importance of under layer system trumping outer.

If you like camo, check out the kryptek Highlander.
Best by far over multiple elevations in my opinion.
Mandrake is for warmer weather woodlands...shades of green. The other is three or four seasons. It will shift brown in low light, fall/ winter. The green emerges in that environment.
Colors on fabrics that I'm familiar with change appearance with environment. Break up is amazing.
Some fabrics are drab, while others ( mainly polyester) are reflective slightly, but this is true of other patters and dyes.
