Default Taking a different view of camo

Maybe its just me but something I've been noticing more of this year or at least thinking about it. I don't guess to know how or or what deer can see at low light or darkness but.......I've noticed that at low light some camos are more easily seen by me than others, and I don't believe it has anything to do with ultraviolet light.

For example, some camos that seem to be blobs in daylight disappear in low light while some camos that we think blend in better in daylight are easier seen in low light. My question is: if a camo blends in to the surroundings better in the daylight than another, why can the same camo be more easily seen in low light than the blobby camo? Again this is with the knowledge that both camos have no uv brighteners. Make any sense?

Edit: After looking at some different camos I own and comparing them in my low light bedroom, I noticed my old, badly faded Realtree Hardwoods jacket is harder to see than my new Predator Fall Gray or Realtree AP jackets..........now wondering to myself if the manufacturers are using dyes that are not hunter friendly in there new camo.
