    XMTS Tartan pic.

    Does anyone have a really good pic or scan of the XMTS tartan? I'm trying to get a good hold on the colours.

    Thank you

    Here is the official pic from Matt's original design.



    and here is a sample of possible pleating combinations I did three years ago.


    As you can see the actual colors are a little more towards the gray tone.

    Steve, am I correct in thinking that the "N" in the design specs is a Grey?

    From what I understand, "n" is from "neutral grey."

    OK, that's why I wasn't sure. I couldn't figure out why N stood for grey. Thanks.

    What the heck is neutral grey anyway?

    Of course, I could be wrong.
    Matt or any of the tartan scholars, feel free to correct me of so.
