    I have to be honest here, I really do think you are in danger of overthinking all this. Almost any form of green would do and personally "fawn" gets my vote. Dark blue could be another good option.

    Another *** to Jock's advice. I think the trick here is going to be not trying to match every single tartan you have. Forget about that, and go with a colour that doesn't need to match all those tartans.

    My one and only Balmoral is "fawn", though mine is not a rather inexpensive one purchased through Glengarryhats.com . The official colour they call it is "desert tan". But I'm also really liking the looks of their "Canadian khaki" as well. If I absolutely had to pick another colour besides tan/fawn/khaki, I'd likely go with a light blue or royal blue. Mainly just because it's a good traditional colour for a bonnet. Lovat green or Lovat blue also tend to be neutral, and should go with anything. I'm personally not a fan of dark ones, like black or navy blue.

    Not very helpful, I know. I guess my point is to go neutral and stop being so fussy.
