Why in the world are many of them in 'camo' colors?

Examples:
The pruning shears I've lost several times in the last few days that are
leaf green and yellow. After dropping them they blend right in with the
vegetation.

Carpenter's pencils in natural wood. Found a great deal on a couple dozen
at the borg. At the end of the day several are invariably swept up with
wood scraps and sawdust.

I know this is a silly post, but what could the reason be for such stupid
colors?

Since this turned into some remarks on keys. People kept keeping a cabinet
key after using. Accidently I am sure by fogetting they put it in a pocket.
I attached the key ring to a 6 inch piece of half inch conduit and brazed
thr ring shut so key could not be removed. Have not lost it since. WW
