I totally agree - that would be grammatically correct. And that was my point initially - it should either be Modern Green Scott or Scott, Modern Green or Scott, Green, Modern. The latter two are fine for lists, indexes, or stand-alone names (e.g., in a header), but they are not correct for a sentence, either written or in conversation, where the adjectives should come first as modifies of the noun.

Actually, Barb, in conversation if asked what my tartan was, I would likely reply: "It is the 1842 version of the Scott tartan in modern colours."
Although I might even omit the "in modern colour" as this is the most common.

Unrumpled and new I believe when this pic was taken.
