Good Eyes! These colors remind me of the tartan worn by the 78th Fraser Highlander reenactors- the green is lime, the blue navy, and the red orange.

I'm not sure what you mean by placing restrictions, but it has been common practice in the past for "Chiefs of the Name" to adopt existing tartans as their own. Many of the WOB trade setts were adopted by clans (Matt reminded me of the interesting story of the MacPherson tartan this past weekend) when it became fashionable for each clan to have a tartan. This practice still continues: Duncan Paisley of Westerlea adopted the existing Paisley district tartan for his followers when he was confirmed as chief of the name; Mark Harden of Cowdenknowes adopted WOB unnamed tartan #1 as the "Harden" tartan a few years ago when he assumed the barony.
