One thing to think about, maybe, is how much red tartans are transformed when done in House Of Edgar's "muted" range.
The red becomes a lovely claret, the green becomes lighter- all the colours change. Sometimes people don't recognise that it's the same tartan.
In "modern" colours, with red tartans, sometimes the blue and green stripes are so dark that they look nearly black against the red. (In fact this has led to quite a few errors/alterations over the years.)
But in "muted" colours the red is darker, the green and blue lighter, so they co-exist and all can be seen for what they are.

Dalgliesh will weave in this color scheme for their custom orders. Strathmore has four specific stock tartans that are woven in this color scheme in their 13oz. fabric.
