David,

I can't speak from personal experience as I can't afford stock cloth right now, let alone custom, but it has been my understanding that more than 6 colors is highly unusual, so maybe you haven't run into that problem. Indeed, one of the Anderson Clan societies' website made a big deal that their tartan has six colors and needed at one time to be woven on special looms.

In any event another member of this forum who is a friend of mine told me she was having one of her designs woven and it had seven colors. She said she might as well have used a custom color as the upcharge was that great. She's still getting the cloth, but the price is high.

Regards,

Brian
