Dave,

Its different indoors and in the sunlight, probably because of the black in the tartan too.

Indoors, its subdued. Outdoors, when the sun hits its like Crayola purple.

I'd thought about buying a pair of the Lewis hose in purple that Matt sells to wear with it. But, for me, they are both so bright it would look like I'd been painted purple.

If I were gonna wear it for school spirit/team colors would probably wear it with white hose and shirt to highlight the purple in the kilt.

For regular wear so far I've just been able to figure out the gray/charcoal hose and sweater look.
