Grant ancient tartan in formal attire

[Warhoover]

Todd,
Thanks for the reply, I am familiar with the article on the website. There is also a photo of Lord Strathspey under the "Chiefs" link but it is not a good photo as far as overall color balance goes (even his black jacket looks red on his right side). I am sure he is clothed in the ancient hues since he has made it known that he prefers the ancient hues for the dress tartan. I understand the concept of the "ancient" hues to make the tartan more "worn" in appearance as does the weathered take it one step further. I have seen some state that ancient hues can show the sett of the tartan off more and I am inclined to agree.
I just can not make up my mind between the two and am looking for a push one way or the other, not really wanting to put a swatch of each on a lazy susan and blindfold myself and "spin the wheel".

Slainte,

Hi Brad,
It's good to see another Grant on the board. I'm not sure if this is a picture of the Ancient Grant or just a lightened picture of the modern, but it looks close to the ancient.



There's also this one, the gentleman carrying the haggis wearing the Grant tartan:



Then there are these, which look to be the ancient colours too(or they could be lightened pictures of the modern, it's hard to tell at times):




Oh, and just to complicate the matters, there's always the Grant muted/weather colours, which I've seen in a kilt and they look amazing.
