What's the deal with electronic swatches?

Here's MacLean of Duart, Suit Number 2

Sometimes with those old weaves you can get sort of close by picking & choosing yarns from across the modern weaver's various colour-schemes.

For example Suit Number 1, tartan Kidd/Caledonia, the pale dull olive green and pale grey-blue are similar to the modern "weathered" green and blue by Lochcarron.

Though I see the green in Suit Number 2 looks quite dull, quite grey, Feldgrau, and isn't included in any of the modern tartan palettes. Marton Mills does have a tweed that colour.
