It is not one color check, but 2 more colors mixed. It seems like complicated but fashionable.


Hear are some colorways of tartan check.

Swatch: Cameron of Erracht Modern Tartan
Modern: These are the bright, rich colors that most people associate with the Scottish Tartan--navy blue, scarlet, hunter green. They were woven after the development of aniline dyes in 1860, and are still the most popular today.

Tartan Swatch: Cameron of Erracht Ancient
Ancient (Old colors): These are the softer & lighter colors produced by the natural dyes made with vegetable, animal & mineral matter, that were in use before 1860. For instance, the navy and red in a Modern tartan would be a medium blue and orange, respectively, in Ancient colors.

Muted: Muted tartans are a recent development using softer shades of the Modern colors that still retain a rich tone. For instance, the navy of the Modern tartan is a dusty blue in the Muted tones, and the hunter green is a deep sage. They are quite elegant.

Tartan Swatch: Gordon Dress
Dress: Dress tartans were used for more formal occasions and are sometimes made by changing the background color of a clan tartan, usually to white. Dress tartans can also be red dominant or even yellow.

Swatch: Fraser Hunting Ancient Tartan
Hunting: Hunting tartans were used for sport or everyday wear. Dark colors were predominant so the wearer would blend in with the environment. They typically use green & blue, sometimes brown, with small amounts of the brighter colors.
