Color matching in MECCHA CHAMELEON is useful, but exact color is only one part of hiding. A good match also needs material, roughness, lighting, and silhouette control.
First match the local brightness, then the color family, then material/shine. A slightly wrong green in the right shadow beats a perfect green pasted onto a bright human outline.
The useful color-matching workflow
Use this order in live matches:
- Pick the surface you want to imitate.
- Sample or approximate the main color.
- Paint large body areas first.
- Adjust material: matte, glossy, metallic, dusty, wet, or polished.
- Rotate the camera and check from the Seeker’s likely angle.
- Hide body landmarks: head, shoulders, knees, elbows, feet.
Do not spend the whole round chasing a perfect hex value while standing in an obvious human pose.
Hex field and alpha note
A community color-code guide says the in-game picker supports Hex sRGB values and that players can paste a color plus alpha, such as:
2b4660FFIn that example:
2b4660is the color.FFis the alpha value.
The same guide says S and V sliders use 0–1 values in-game, so a value shown as S=53 in a tool should be treated as 0.53.
Use this as a quick input shortcut. In a real round, still rotate the camera and judge from seeker distance.
Community-sourced surface examples
These examples came from a Steam community guide that claims measured screenshot samples across seven base maps. Use them as starting points, not as guaranteed live values.

Why your sampled color still looks wrong
Common reasons:
- The surface is glossy and your body is matte.
- The surface is matte and your body reflects too much light.
- The area is in shadow but you sampled a lit pixel.
- The wall has a repeating pattern and your pose breaks the pattern.
- The map has randomized furniture or lighting changes after updates.
- You checked from close-up instead of from the Seeker’s distance.
Practical rule
Aim for “believable at a glance,” not perfect in a vacuum. Seekers do not inspect a color picker; they scan for things that do not belong.
