    My first thought would be for Green and Black diced with red flashes.

    Shades of red look very sharp with Black Watch.

    Here's my standard advice for almost any kilt:

    Lovat Blue, Lovat Green, Bottle Green, Dark Red/Claret/Burgundy

    Here are two recent strings which also address this issue:

    I think unless it's a vibrant pink, white or purple, the answer is "Yes, that goes with Black Watch".

    Crivens, you're right.

    but not as vibrant as his wife's ensemble
