cerement , 1 month ago to Photography in Camo is hard to photograph, and not for the reason you think! (Main cam vs Selfie cam colors)

• phone cameras generally default to auto white balance which is good for snapshots, not so good for color accuracy
• trying to get raw files out of phone cameras is not completely impossible, but the images are almost always processed into JPEGs
