In July 1993 Our local paper had an article about a couple here who designed and registered a Tartan under the name "City of Victoria Tartan".
They describe it thus;
We chose the colors for Victoria things. The "atmosphere and heritage of British Columbia". They reflect old red brick, granite stone topped with oxidized turquiose copper domes, accents of ox-blood red and hunter green and the "warmth of Victorian old rose".
Edith and Alec Armstrong have looms set up on their West Bay Marina houseboat and use Angora Wool from their farm in the middle of Vancouver Island blended with Mohair.
What say the rabble? We all agree that Isle of Skye is one of the most beautiful Tartans but we have never voted on the ugliest Tartan.
I submit this as my vote.
The background is Khaki colored or beach sand.
The Red is sort of the color of burgundy wine.
The Green is British Racing Stripe Green.
And yes, that is pink.
And yes, I'm sorry to say that is indeed Turquoise.
