True tartan colors? Confusion...

[Riverkilt]

Hey Breeze,

You know anywhere that has the color codes for the treads written out? Like K=black etc.??

STA uses the code, but no where on the site is there a list of what the abreviation letters mean.

Could swear I've seen it somewhere...but can't find it.

No clue why its such a big secret...and yes, I know that R=red could be a vast array of shades of red...just wanna know what the letters that are used mean to those in the know.

Thanks,

Ron

The colors are recorded, but not shades.

I remember I read, a few years ago, that the Italian Parlament officially set the colours of the Italian flag through the wavelenghts!
