    One of the really neat things about the X Marks tartan is that the yellow line is actually woven with two different shades of yellow threads, one bright and one more muted. So whether you go for the yellow or the mustard ties, either will coordinate well with the yellow of the tartan.

    If you are looking for something eye-catching and flashy, go for the bright yellow. If you are after a more subtle or toned-down look, go for mustard. Either will look just fine.

    Thanks everyone for your thoughts, advice and examples. This is exactly what I wanted to know. After some deliberation, I believe I will go with the mustard garter ties. The yellow looks a little bright to my eyes.

    The thing is that I like being matchy-matchy sometimes. Especially if I am dressing for a more formal event. Thank you all again and when I make my choice, there will be pictures.
