Quote History Quoted:
For me, when viewed from a bit away, the PH stuff pops against multicam, especially with the large white pixels.
PH also lacks the yellow-brown earth tones. I think it's effective against foliage and trees when upright, but suffers when prone or near the ground. With a little more color development, it could have been something pretty special.

PH is too light to be compared to multicam.
I dunno. The other day, I took a couple of multicam caps and some pouches and pushed them all together, touching. I tossed the PH med pouch on top stepped away a few feet, and it seemed to me that it blended-in all right. Maybe your eyes are sharper than mine.

Here's a link to an LBX PC in PH camo:

Assuming that the PC is big enough for the full pattern to show, I don't see any white pixels.
As someone who has actually compared LBX PH camo alongside typical multicam from various mfrs/vendors, I can say that PH uses almost exactly the same colors, and in approximately the same amounts as compared to MC. If anything, MC actually
does have some
very light objects in the pattern, which PH camo does not have. Note the considerable white splotches in this depiction of Multicam:

I see nothing similar,
in real life using MC and PH camo in comparison. If anything, PH camo is a bit darker since it lacks the white splotches used in MC.
I would caution against comparing pictures, as compared to real items. A picture, no matter how well-made is one thing, but seeing with one's own eyes is reality.
I don't advocate rushing out and buying LBX gear. I don't claim Project Honor Camo is exactly the same as Multicam. What I
do say is that the few items I have bought from vendors of LBX gear are well-made, and that the camo pattern, from several feet away, blends very well with multicam to the naked eye. YMMV.
Since LBX is a relative newcomer to the tactical gear market, and still fairly low-profile, not too many have direct experience with it. Probably the parent company, London Bridge Trading (LBT) is working out all the kinks.
My guess is that given the Berry Amendment, if LBT can get a significant portion of gear to the Mil market, and if they can offer similar, but high quality non-Berry compliant gear to the rest of the market that is not constrained by the Berry amendment, and also more they might have a good business plan.
