Again, you have to read them. They are specific.

This is an oversimplification.

It wouldn't make sense to choose black over white "because of studies about the human eye and colors".

One reason black "contrasts too much" is because the military objects are large.

In any case, the point of choosing a color isn't likely for bright daytime conditions (where it might not matter much).

The military uses black in many other contexts but not really with the intent of making stuff "contrast too much" or "more visible".
