Knotty - MacLean Grey?

[madmacs]

I have changed the colors very slightly by switching to "weavers colors".

I have also created a new tartan I call MacLean of Duart (grey & brown) muted. The white, yellow & blue are not as bright.

Sounds like weathered maclean hunting which locharron used to make...

Sounds like it, but it's not. In a true "weathered" or "reproduction" pallet from most mills, black stays black. I'm advocating bringing the black somewhere between black and the gray that blue becomes in this pallet typically.

The "black" in Dalgleish's Reproduction Colors is a very dark brown.

The "black" in Dalgleish's Reproduction Colors is a very dark brown.

On the MacMillan Hunting in reproduction colors, black (K) is listed as Brown10. On the Maclean Hunting in reproduction colors, however, black (K) is listed as Gray10, the same "black" as in there modern pallet. I suppose it depends on the other colors in the tartan and/or what they think will look best.

Agree. The Reproduction Ancient Macmillan from Dalgleish uses black. Although, as a recent Dalgleish custom-order has shown, take ALL Dalgleish's specified yarn colors with a grain of salt...
