Herein, a novel design concept of a surface graphical photonic crystal (SGPC) has been proposed as an effective strategy to achieve angle-insensitive visible-infrared compatible camouflage. The SGPC, designed as a quasi-periodic Ge/ZnS photonic crystal following an arithmetic sequence in the physical thickness for each period, possesses a functionalized ZnS surface consisting of lithography-fabricated mosaic patterns with various etching depths. Our experiment data demonstrate the excellent infrared camouflage capability of the SGPC with a high average reflectance of 92.7% (surface emissivity epsilon = 0.07) in 8-14 mu m, and related simulations further reveal the satisfying angle-insensitive reflection characteristic with a maximum effective relative photonic bandgap delta(BW) = 91.3% in 0 degrees <= theta <= 60 degrees. Besides, the irregular mosaic patterns with various etching depths constitute a colorful digital camouflage on the surface of the SGPC, realizing an outstanding optical camouflage capacity without distinct angle dependency (dominant wavelength shift delta(lambda d) = vertical bar lambda(theta )- lambda(0)vertical bar/lambda(0) <= 2.33%).
