CURATOR'S NOTE

Bock Blocks gives the M249 a clear identity without needing every section to compete for attention. Here, Purple supplies the visual weight and Pink gives the surface enough structure for the surface-specific graphic treatment to stay legible. The result feels balanced and deliberate: recognisable at a glance, but detailed enough to reward a closer look.
DETAILS / CLOSE-UP
COLOUR MASS
Across the receiver and upper shroud, Bock Blocks concentrates most of the Purple. This is where the surface-specific graphic treatment reads most clearly and where the M249 gains its first visual anchor.
SMALLER INTERRUPTIONS
Along the stock and magazine housing, Pink creates the second layer of the composition. It breaks the Purple mass without weakening the finish's overall identity.
SILHOUETTE EDGE
At the barrel, bipod and exposed hardware, Blue and the underlying construction become more visible. The quieter treatment frames the painted areas instead of competing with them.
