Good eye there! I hadn't noticed the crimson on those little CGI images.
On the Reproduction tartan it shows up as a dull mustard

I have a love for red/green tartans in Reproduction colours ever since, at a Highland Games, one of the firms had on display a mannequin wearing a kilt and bias-cut Sherrifmuir jacket in matching red/green Reproduction tartan (I don't remember the specific tartan). It was the most beautiful Evening Dress I'd ever seen!
