    ...the easiest way to pick an actual color is to determine the dominant colors of the tartan.
    I like the opposite approach: pick the least-represented color in the tartan. In Shaw, that's red, and then you could wear flashes in one of the dominant colors. If you wanted tartan hose, I'd think red and green with navy stripes would look really nice.

    When given a choice, most people will choose.

    That one is hard to beat. Add red flashes and you're there.

    Thanks everyone! The pair Redshank posted are pretty spot on. I already have black. I might also try navy, and green.

    I'm awfully proud of my new Shaw Kilt! Its in honor of my great grandfather Augustus Shaw. He was a warden in Indianapolis by way of Scotland. I'm also named for him (middle name), and my great great uncle John Augustus Maxwell.
