If you could only have one

I actually prefer greens as well. I can see that a green or brown would go eminently well with the Maple Leaf, but not at all with the other. If there was a bit of green in it, it would be my choice.

What I typically do when deciding on which tweed to go with in regards to my Highland Dress (besides ordering actual tweed swatches), is to download (by means of copy and pasting) and save onto my computer desktop an electronic version of the tweed swatch, along with an electronic version of the tartan (though I do realise that computer monitors will indeed vary, so in regards to overall tonality and hue, this is simply a rough guide/strategy), and place them side by side to determine what will work, and what won't. This is a rather quick and efficient way to get an idea if a particular tweed pattern/colour will work well with a particular tartan or not. Process of elimination is the name of the game.

So, with that being said, here are several other tweed samples (some louder than others) you may find interesting:
