There are widely different interpretations of the Dungiven trews tartan, and it's being currently woven in three or four different colour schemes.
Some posit the original colours being red and green. I don't know what analysis, if any, has been done.
Others have gone with the original amber-brown.
To the right are reconstructions of the bog costume using different versions of the tartan.
