The tartans represented here have been scanned from actual cloth scarves. 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 1-800-355-7268 or email us for details.

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.
