The colouration appears to mimic lichen which is very cool to see!

Interestingly we only ever see these in mud wasp nests so the colouration may be working really well ... to our eyes at least. And actually this one has a wasp larva on it as well. And no we don't break the wasp nests deliberately but if they make a nest in the doorway or window then it gets broken when we open the door.
