Is the tiger similar color to the grass for you?

Are orange housecats remotely stealthy?

    The tiger no. But put that same hue of orange next to some greenery without any context and it might.

    The brain is really good at compensating for colourblindness. You could probably paint a tiger green and I'd tell you it's orange because I know tigers are supposed to be orange.
