SPLATTER Camouflage Planner

Winning Hider rounds in SPLATTER is not random luck. Use this checklist — and the interactive planner below — before every prep phase:

1. Zone first: Pick your spot before painting. Read hiding zones for map-specific logic.
2. Sample at height: Eyedropper the exact pixel where your torso will sit, not a similar wall across the room.
3. Adjust HSV: Match shadow and highlight separately if the paint tool allows metallic and roughness sliders.
4. Pose and crouch: Break your humanoid silhouette — flat against walls rarely beats a posed prop mimic.
5. Freeze early: Leave five seconds buffer for Seeker load-in jitters; movement after freeze rules vary by round — stay still.

The KNIVES & MUSEUM update added tall frames, sculpture plinths, and knife-display cases. Vertical hides reward players who read the climbing guide — but a perfect ceiling paint fails if your shadow falls on the wrong tile. Plan lighting direction before you climb.

Seekers on Museum often sweep floor-to-ceiling in gallery order. Counter by mimicking static exhibits rather than bare corners everyone checks first — see hiding strategies tier list for S-tier tactics.

If the lobby vote changes maps after you started planning, reset your checklist. Colors from outdoor concrete do not transfer to museum carpet. Use the paint matcher to rebuild your palette quickly.

Vote intelligence lives on the map voting page — dodge maps you have not practiced when learning.
