But I think a good bit of advice is to simply embrace the tartan with which you most closely identify, and don't be so particular on the colours. Tartan has way more meaning than the hues it contains.
The thing about our clan tartan Tobus is that there are so many similar tartans, like Graham and Campbell and others. I, like my dear Grandmother, am very fond of the ancient colours but I also like your kilt in the weathered colours. The modern colours can be, well...dark and not so exciting.lol I agree that a tartan with meaning is a great place to start.
