I'm not interested in the tartan, though I love the look. I'm just not sure which look. ;-)

I simply find it curious, even odd, that two of the premier tartan organizations in the world show the same tartan so differently - apparently beyond any difference one would expect from the imprecision of a digital rendering.

In one, the brightest color in the tartan (Oxford) displays as blue, in the other the same color (Oxford) is shown as purple. Is it (as I infer from paulhenry's comments) that there is no accepted standard (via an RGB mix, for example) for the color Oxford? Or, did one of the orgs. simply make a mistake in its display?

Can anyone out there speak for the House of Edgar from where this tartan allegedly originated? Where is Claire Donaldson when you need her?! :-)
