Certainly Ancient (coloured) tartans are more recent than Modern tartans.
As for when Ancient ended and when Modern began in history, you have had as many answers as there are theories on the subject.
My history lecturers stuck to the idea that the Modern period began with the Renaissance and the Reformation.
Whether you count the Middle Ages as Ancient or post-ancient is up to you, but having studied that period (an eventful one in Europe, what with three distinct stages of feudalism evolving), I prefer to regard this as an intermediate period.
On the other hand, many parts of Africa never experienced a Middle period, and went straight from Ancient (Stone Age or Iron Age) to modern (when the colonialists first arrived).
