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".
Again, you keep referring to things that you seem unwilling to actually articulate. If you want a response to something specific, re-post the specific thing you want a response to.
In terms of car color, this would be an interesting conversation if cars only came in black or white. But since they come in mostly medium tones, my point about high contrast colors like black, white or red stands. These colors are all rather conspicuous compared to the more common gray, tan and gold.
