I would agree with you 100%. Not just on this tartan, but most any acrylic tartan in general. I can almost always tell an acrylic kilt from a distance simply from the colors. They tend to be much more bright and garish than the corresponding tartan in wool.

I don't know if that is a function of the acrylic per se, because I'm sure I've seen some acrylic yarns and other goods in more soft, muted tones. Maybe it's just a dye choice made by the mills who produce the bulk of acrylic tartans.
