    Not bad. The greens seem a little different than what I'm used to seeing.

    Here's the closest shot I have of the Lochcarron 16 oz strome in Isle of Skye, if it helps for comparison.

    Eeeeek! Larry, those colours are a bit frightening, and not too close to the Isle of Skye tartan we are accustomed to (ie: Ron's kilt in his post above).

    Take care,
    Ham.

    Difference seems to be mainly in the three colors that parallel the thin light gray lines. The purple and brown in the center of the sett seem about the same.

    Hard for my eyes, but it also seems the difference in the colors paralleling the thin grey lines results in some differences in the pattern adjacent to where the thin gray lines intersect.

    That has some bright almost neon greens,purples and blues.
    It certainly is not as blended and subtle as the IOS I've seen.

    Different fur sure!!.

    I’ll try to make some photos outdoors in daylight.
    Live, the colors in the first photo are more quiet than in the picture.
    The second photo is more true to life, with the purple toned down, and the green less neon, and with the “red” hidden, so maybe it is the reflectivity of that color that does not agree with my (very rudimentary) photographic skills.

    If those are the actual colors, I'm not sure I'm all that interested.
