Are they any more effective than regular camo patterns? What's the theory behind them?

Some work good, some don't.

ACU works good in the snow and in some urban areas.

We were issued Subdued urban digital camo for a bit at work,  it worked surprisingly well on blacktop during drills, it's basically "UCP black"

Type of camo rarely makes much difference when hunting, it's your movement that will give you away. Snow camo often works best in a treestand because you're silhouetted against the sky.

These are great for hiding slight bulge when carrying, in other words, all the time.

I'd say it works pretty well.

Subdued Urban worked well in an indoor paintball venue here that was dark and dirty.  Can't think of many real world applications, though.

I’ve found UCP works quite well in dense smoke and fog.

Hide slight bulges you say?

Do they make pants in that pattern?

i always thought they were meant to identify forces rather than camouflage, for the most part

the usmc tried doing a serious version of it:

OD or feldgrau are fine.

The camo from the film children of men is interesting but they probably used a filter on the camera for those scenes. Making the camo appear more effective.

Urban MARPAT looks like it would work but it was never fielded. The patent already expired so maybe someone will start selling it

I knew  a LT Plissken, served with Special Forces unit Black Light flew a gullfire over Leningrad, who swears by urban camo especially the pants.

I actually thought ACU worked just for the wrong reasons. It’s a lighter color and when unwashed tended to take on whatever the average color of dirt/mud is predominant in the area.

Shoe polish, a shirt thats 4x too big for you, and jeans wrapped around your knees... You will blend into ANY "urban" environment...

Let's take a look at the word: "Camou"- Greek for shit that looks like other shit. And "Flage"- To hide shit.

So, I guess the theory behind camouflage is you use some shit to make something else look like other shit.

Different color pallet. Some shapes are less common in nature than in man made environments. A woodland pattern isn't going to work well in a concrete environment devoid of any landscaping, it'll have a completely wrong color pallet, wrong shapes, wrong color contrast.
