When the pink crosses the blue it appears purple. Since blue is the dominant color, the effect is more of purple. I really don't notice the pink as pink.

I don't have a picture of myself in the MN tartan kilt, but you can see such a kilt at

and

where you can also see a skirt made in the Tartan.

Those pictures were taken at the 2005 Minnesota Tartan day parade and ceremonies. I was there, and kilted, but not in MN Tartan.

The "official" pictures of the tartan at

and

http://www.district-tartans.com/minnesota.htm (Matt, please note)

are much darker than shown in those Tartan Day pics. I have seen Mark Osweiler, the designer of the Tartan, in a kilt similar to that in the pics, so I think the brighter colors are closer to his intent.
