I have clothing in red, blue, green, grey, brown, black and khaki and it's chosen on quality, usefulness and value for money, not because of the colours. My cold / wet weather jackets are red and blue, but my summer stuff tends to be grey, green and khaki. My tent is green. To be honest I think wildlife tends to notice noise or movement more than colour.
I've been reading one of Hamish Brown's books and he seems to prefer colours that do not clash with the surroundings. He writes when commenting on dayglo clothing and tents "can we please treat the gentle colours of the wild with some corresponding gentleness?" If I was in trouble and needed to be seen, I always carry my bright orange bivvy bag. That's why they are orange in colour, to be seen.
