Blue and Green Tartans that *aren't* derived from the Government Sett?
I've been tinkering with tartan design again. I love the look of predominantly blue and green tartans, but as I tinker and look around I'm realizing that I can't think of any of the common ones that aren't variations on the Black Watch (Gordon, MacKenzie, Murray of Atholl, and others)... the usual difference being one or more red, yellow, or white overcheck stripes. They're all gorgeous, but that vein has been pretty well mined.
One pleasingly simple example of a non-Black Watch blue and green that I've found is the Keith tartan:

I'm sure I could go wading through the Register of Tartans and find some more, but I figured I would ask here in case someone can think of any off the top of their head. I'm mostly just looking for reference/inspiration of ways to arrange and break up colors that I haven't thought of yet.
Thanks!

Check out Perthshire District and Drummond of Perth. I really like the overall cast of somewhere between sage and spruce green.

Gunn is also blue & green with a red stripe, but not the same base as Black Watch.

Check out Hunter of Hunterston. The Clan Chief, Pauline Natalie Mullen Hunter of Hunterston, wears the ancient. Very distinguished.

Hunting MacMillan, created by adding blue, green, and black to the, ahem, *vibrant* Dress MacMillan...

Also consider Johnstone and MacIntyre.

I was going to suggest the Keith ancient and modern, but now that I have opened the thread, I see you started there.
