MECCHA CHAMELEON paint guide for better camouflage

Painting is the game’s signature skill. The goal is not a perfect color sample; it is a believable object under the room’s lighting and search pressure.

How do you paint better in MECCHA CHAMELEON?

Paint better by matching a color family first, then checking lighting, texture edge, silhouette, and pose. A technically close color can still fail if it sits under the wrong light or creates a shape that no real prop would make.

FAQ

Quick answers

Is color matching enough?

No. Color starts the disguise, but lighting, pose, silhouette, and nearby object logic decide whether the disguise survives a sweep.

How should beginners practice painting?

Use a private room, pick one wall or prop family, paint quickly, then let another player inspect it from the Hunter route.
