Seems to me that "camo corn" would stand out in brown fields much more so than yellow corn. It all depends on the context of placement as to whether it would be camo or not. The OP pic is great. If placing corn on green vegetation, then green corn is the way to keep it hidden. If dropping into brown vegetation, light colored said, etc., then yellow would keep it most hidden.
Sort of like feeders that are painted in foliage colors or even patterns, game cameras that are decorated like that, etc., sure, the stuff has value to folks other than poachers. After all, why would anyone buy a feeder painted or patterned in a manner to make it harder to see? Let's face it. The deer know it isn't a tree and isn't a stalk of corn.
I only know of one guy who paints his gear is hunter orange so that he can find it from year to year at his lease. Of course, so could his "neighbors who stole some of it.
Why do hunters often paint their blinds and stands to look like the local vegetation (or to look like some vegetation somewhere, maybe not terribly local...have you seen some of the home camo schemes?). The deer know the great big giant wood box in the middle of the field on steel legs isn't a tree.
The bottom line is that we camo a bunch of stuff that has no real benefit being camo'd from a hunting perspective as it has no influence on the animals. Whether you have a big yellow hunting stand or one painted brown and green, the animals know it is there and isn't natural and they will get used to it just like they will get used to an old house, barn, junk car, tractor, etc. that doesn't look like a camo'd tree.
If you have a feeder that is camo'd because you need it to be camo'd, then you probably should have camo'd corn. Otherwise, let's face it. It really doesn't matter if the feeder is camo'd or not and it won't matter for hunting if the corn is camo'd or not.
