Type 87 is a camouflage pattern used by People's Liberation Army of the People's Republic of China.
The main variant is a four-colour woodland pattern with olive, green, yellowish-green and black.
Type 87, like many other woodland uniforms with black, has been criticized for its use of this color, but once faded, it becomes dull and subdued, and therefore virtually unnoticeable.
Type 87's style imitates that of the older American M81 Woodland camouflage, in the sense it utilizes a macropattern of four colours for concealment, printed in interlocking, elongated and branching blobs.
The camouflage and uniform is replaced by the digital Type 07 Combat & Training Uniform.
