    My first thought would be for Green and Black diced with red flashes.

    Shades of red look very sharp with Black Watch.

    Here's my standard advice for almost any kilt:

    Lovat Blue, Lovat Green, Bottle Green, Dark Red/Claret/Burgundy

    Here are two recent strings which also address this issue:

    I think unless it's a vibrant pink, white or purple, the answer is "Yes, that goes with Black Watch".

    Of course the Duke of Argyll wears pink hose with the Campbell aka Black Watch tartan!

    Crivens, you're right.

    but not as vibrant as his wife's ensemble
