I've long noticed how wearing blue with Isle Of Skye seems to make the purple in the tartan more intense. Must be some optical effect I don't understand.
Likewise wearing maroon, burgundy, or claret with IOS makes the brown in the tartan zing.
It's some sort of colour-shifting eye thing, I guess.
I do like to have the hose/flashes, and often also the shirt/tie, pairing warm and cool colours. OK I have an Art degree... and I can't not see stuff like that.

We all could learn a thing from your Goethe and Newton color wheel studies
I'll have to look that up...
Never really studied a colour wheel, well except in 2D Design 101 over 30 years ago!

Not much consulting to be done... just avoid any of the kilt's main colours, just as one wouldn't wear suit, shirt, and tie of all the same colour (well our local Weather Man does that all the time; one day he had matching pinstriped suit, shirt, and tie, and boy was it hideous!)
This matching is so beyond the pale that I've just spent several minutes Googling images and no matter how I word it, "suit shirt tie all matching" "suit shirt tie all gray" "suit shirt tie matching pinstripes" etc etc I can't seem to find any images showing such.
Invariably sites are using "matching" not to mean "matching" but to mean "co-ordinating".
