Hi everybody,

I have a question that might interest some people wanting to design their own tartans.

Is there some kind of "traditional" reason why white stripes shouldn't be used in a general tartan? How do you differenciate some general tartan using white (MacFarlane's or Menzie's ones for example) from dress/dance tartan?

Sorry for this noobie question, but I cannot get it clear in my head, each time I'm getting close to an answer, I find one more confusing element on the web...
