I read in a magazine (which one?) that deer have dichromatic vision. They see two color spectrums, the black white color spectrum and the blue green color spectrum. They also see many more shades of these spectrums than humans see of all the colors alltogether. Coyotes also see both of these color spectrums.
I beleive the above information to be correct, but am not totally positive.
My experience is that movement is often more important than camo. I have to hunt on the ground these days and try to wear off the shelf clothes in solid colors that match my surroundings. Tan, brown for pants and light green, dark green, or brown for shirts and this depends where I am hunting, but I am willing to back myself into some very uncomfortable places on the ground. I cover my black rifle stock, barrel and face with camo.
If you wash your clothes with Whisk or some other non-phosphate clothes soap a couple of times it will take out the ultraviolet phosphoreressence that make clothes so bright and shine like neon for deer.
I do not beleive that deer see red camoflouge, just the phasphates from laundry detergents.
Just my humble thoughts on camoflouge and what deer see. I could be mistaken.
