Step 1: Create a blank  document of any size with a single active layer (this can be filled with anything you desire). Using the colour swatches, select #D0C577 as the foreground colour, and #BAAD4A as the background colour. Then choose Edit > Fill from the main menu and fill the background layer with the new BG colour.

Step 2: Now create that camouflage by selecting Filter > Artistic > Sponge, and running it with the following settings:

Brush Size - 8
Definition - 25
Smoothness - 15

Repeat the filter a second time with exactly the same settings to bring out highlights. To smooth out the result, go to Filter > Noise > Median and enter a value of 3.

Step 3:  And that's it!  See, I said it was easy!  Of course, at this point you can brighten things up a little with the Image > Adjust > Brightness / Contrast tools, and/or add a little cloth texture with Filter > Texture > Texturizer, but I'll leave that up to you...

Of course, these colours wont work for every environment, so feel free to play around a little.  Take a look below to see a few quick colour variations.    Have fun experimenting!
