Is calling it "shadow foam" just an escaped brand name, or is there more etymology behind it?

- CobaltFire 4y agoNothing we use in military aviation is branded like that; we just use layered foam. As I understand it it's just that you do light on dark so it looks like shadows.
- thaeli 4y agoIt may be a reference to "shadow boards" which is another, similar technique used mostly for wall mounted tool storage. It's basically pegboard with a silhouette (or "shadow") of each tool painted on.
