But be aware that Edgar's "muted" colour scheme is entirely different from the "weathered" / "reproduction" colour schemes.
Look here at the bottom

In weathered/reproduction colours blue > grey, green > brown. In "muted" colours blue remains blue, green remains green.
BTW chattan is simply the word cat, same in English and Gaelic. But as the country when named is Eire and when used in the sense of "of Ireland" becomes hEireann, when cat is used in the sense of "of a cat" it becomes chattan. What I wonder is, is "chattan" the correct spelling? I would think it would be "chatann" but what do I know... it's not in my dictionaries.
