    The individual colours of a Scots tartan have no symbolism whatsoever. I should imagine that would hold true for tartans the world over.

    I'm sure there is color symbolism in 'modern' tartans of states. I'm a Rotarian, I'll also venture to guess the colors in it have symbolism as well, as I can see the Rotary blue and gold in it.

    That said, there is a difference in modern, hunting, weathered, and dress tartans. So if you're designing a tartan, keep that in mind. There's a good discussion of this at the Tartan musuem website, authored by Matt
