Sample the final background
Use the eyedropper on the color that will sit behind your final pose, not the color beside spawn.
Paint fix
Your Paint Was Close. That's Why You Got Caught.
Close color is not the same as good camouflage. Learn when to sample, when to simplify, and when to stop painting before you ruin the hide.
- Don't chase perfect color if your pose is bad.
- Use shadow to hide rough edges.
- Paint less when the timer is low.
Paint one broad layer first
A simple body-wide match beats five tiny details that make you brighter than the wall.
Use light as a second color
If the surface has a bright side and dark side, split your body the same way.
Match silhouette before texture
Seekers catch human shape faster than small color errors.
Stop editing early
Most failed hides are still moving when the seeker enters.
Video to rule
Every paint lesson points back to a clip.

Traffic B
Better hiding is the product of color transition, lighting, prop shape, position, and sightline.

What you see in the clip
The advanced guide video turns strong hides into repeatable systems: not just what color to paint, but where to stand, how to split light, and how to test the hide from seeker view.
High-level disguise works when each decision has a visible reason in the room and a visible proof in the clip.
Advanced Modules
- 0:00 Color transition: hide on the edge where bright and dark surfaces meet so both sides of your body read correctly.
- 2:15 Lighting: match the direction of the room light, not just the sampled color.
- 4:30 Prop outline: sometimes the best wall hide is not a wall hide at all, but a repeated object mimic.
- 6:05 Positioning: dark corners, wall contact, and prop adjacency beat central open floor every time.
- 8:00 Seeker sightline: test your final hide from the likely seeker entry direction before the round starts.
Advanced Checklist
- Does the shadow direction on your body match the room light?
- Can the seeker see you from spawn or from the first doorway angle?
- Does your outline read as object or as person?
- Is the background larger than your full silhouette?
- Have you stopped moving before the prep timer ends?
