"Flash of color" in pleating to the stripe

[Barb T]

Is this flash effect seen in the USAFR tartan they way you would normally pleat a kilt?

When I made a USAFR kilt for our daughter, I pleated it to the gold stripe:





Depending on which gold stripe was chosen, you could produce a flash of light blue inside the pleats, although it would be set back a bit from the edge of the reveal. And it wouldn't be terribly dramatic because there are already the wide lightish blue horizontal stripes across the back.
