The pictures on the STA website show the tartan woven in ancient colours but since Dalgliesh is doing a custom run for you you can send your own colour palette for them to match.

I find the palette used in a recent tartan run that I coordinated to be extremely nice.

I could send you a swatch of cloth that Dalgliesh could match. You will need to find a suitable sample for the yellow yarns as the Clanranald tartan I had woven does not have yellow.

BTW Ancient colours are light and "pastelly" they are supposed to look faded.

Modern colours are deep and dark with a scarlet red and a bright yellow.
