Those with the land behind them should be painted army camouflage; those with the sky behind them should be painted battleship grey. Then you will see neither.

As for safety concerns, just as you can clearly see the navy ships berthed on the quays and can clearly see a soldier walking down the street, from close up, of course, you can see them both. But from a distance, you will see neither.
