Here's my pair of Argyll hose, made to wear with my Old MacMillan kilt. That tartan is predominately three colors: green, burgundy, and yellow (there are also thin stripes of black in the sett). In this case I made the green portions a marl mixture of dark green and light green and used the burgundy and yellow as solid blocks because I didn't like the color produced by either a mixture of the green and the burgundy or the green and yellow.

These are a bit different than the traditional pattern which use two primary colors and two secondary colors, allowing a marl of the two primary colors to create the main background color, the diamonds are the primary colors, and the two secondary colors are the overstripes.
