Given I live in the southern Appalachians, what would be the best color and pattern for a stealth tarp? Take into account winter where there is little green. Thanx for your input

I've always thought coyote brown tarps were pretty stealthy. As far as patterns go, you'd be tacking away from silnylon, unless you wanted to make your own sil.

drab brown, with a pattern of branches/(zebra stripes?) done in sharpie marker; dark brown, black and gray; you want to look like a brush pile, or a blown down tree. And always camp uphill from the trail, if you have a choice.
Deer are brown for a reason, brown tends to blend well with groundlitter (dead leaves, etc.)
Scott Littlefield has some digicam for sale.
I used a similar patterned fabric and they blend in well.

I've seen about a dozen different color tarps all hung up at a group hang. It was agreed the most stealthy was the black tarp

It's less about color than shape...those straight edges and square corners don't occur very often in the natural world, and stick out like a diamond in a goat's butt.

I would think the digital camo would blend in the best.
I have a digital camo tarp - it does blend in ok. not making straight lines like oldgringo mentioned hides it better.
However, multicam IMO would be the best option. If avail in a light weight fabric I would prefer it.
With all the research in the army ACU is a fail for most environments -- which is why army will be switching to multicam
