What's been getting a lot of buzz at the airsoft milsim events is "Multicam". It's a uniform that was tested by the military and going into production rather soon (Maybe not under a military contract, but for the public certainly). It's a one uniform for all environments thing that actually changes color based on the surrounding light.
Check out the camo's field pictures here:
