Al,
We've had bumpers with camo numbers since last year, yet it's never really come up in inspection... Mainly because the camo we use is 95% grey. Inspectors deemed it contrasting enough this year at NYC and SBPLI, and last year at NYC and Champs (Now I know, that's not a valid argument)
We actually always bring fabric paint / sharpies / some mode of changing the color if it indeed doesn't contrast enough

Thanks for the heads up though! It's really appreciated, we actually just double checked to make sure we have some fabric paint
