I hate to break it to him, but Clan tartans didn't come about until the Victorian period and that was started by English nobility, along with wearing alot of accessories. Even official district tartans didn't exist much before that. Tartans were whatever pattern the local weaver was making and colors depended entirely on what dyes were available in a given area. Originally, people wore whatever they could get.
