The colors are representative as different weavers use their own eye and
judgement to determine what color of light blue is "light" etc. and, for the
most part, the colors shown here are somewhat subdued. If you are
considering the purchase of an expensive item such as a kilt it would be best
to order a swatch of the tartan in the actual weight and cloth from which
your kilt will be made to get the best idea of what the final product will look
like. We offer swatches at $5 per swatch returnable for refund with the
order of a custom tartan item. Please call our toll free number

Modern colors are strong, vivid colors made possible by today's chemical
dyes.
Ancient or old colors duplicate the shades produced by weavers in the old
days when dyes were made from vegetables, herbs and berries.
Weathered colors or reproduction colors or muted colors approximate the
appearance of tartan cloth dyed with the old organic dyes and then faded by
years of highland weather.
