Dour, sombre and inappropriate for a wedding tartan. Hate it!

"Royal Pride" tartan: wedding or funeral
Has anyone weighed in yet with an opinion on the royal engagement/wedding commemorative tartan designed by McCalls and woven by Lochcarron? Royal Pride is supposed to celebrate the marriage of Prince William and Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge. Personally, I think it's better suited for a funeral! Queen Victoria would not be amused, and she wore black for the last 40 years of her life!

Well, I think it's a nice enough looking tartan, I would likely wear it to either event. Since "Eah. I can take it or leave it", was my attitude towards the royal wedding anyway, that connection doesn't effect my opinion.

I posted "take it or leave it".
There's a fad for grey-scale tartans nowadays, and they're OK for what they are. (They are sort of like viewing a normal tartan on a Black & White television set.)
This tartan strikes my eye as a bit strange because it's got that one colour overlaid upon a grey-scale tartan... like those advertisements which have a B&W closeup of a model's face, but the eyes are coloured in a bright blue.

Thanks, Dale-O-Cedars for posting that image. I was still looking for one I have of the couple and the tartan, so you saved me the trouble. (Really must get my pic files organized some day soon!)

I think I would best classify this tartan as inoffensive. Nothing spectacular, but nothing horrid.

Exactly, Tartan Tess! It's a wedding, for cryin' out loud. It would make a suitable mourning tartan for Princess Diana, since the sapphire blue is indicative of her famous ring. But where's the joy, optimism that should be associated with a wedding?

Nor youthful, neither. I think it would have made my uncle, the mortician, stop short, stare in disbelief, shrug, and wander away without comment.
