Those groups also have another characteristic that changes: the amount of the cow covered in paint.

How do you determine if its that vs the stripes or colors?

You paint a second control group the colors and patterns they already are

Did this study do that? The abstract didnt mention it.

Probably not. I was just answering your question - that's how you'd eliminate that variable from the experiment

Right thank you for the clarification.
