    Grey (color) tartan query

    Good evening rabble--

    Are there many predominantly grey tartan sets? Would these be likely to be fashion tartans? I'm curious because I just bought a grey kilted skirt on ebay (and this time I am pretty sure it will fit...). It's mostly grey, both light and dark, with a bit of tan and even less white, and that appears to be all. Understated but beautiful.

    I can't get this machine to post a picture off ebay. But I am curious about what this might turn out to be, and about grey tartans you may have known. I am still behind the curve with digital cameras but would like to send pics when I can take them or get them taken.

    Well, let me see..

    I am a fan of the Nightstalker tartan from Stillwater,
    The Gray Granite tartan,
    And some day off in the future, I will have a kilt in the best of all, Highland Granite tartan.

    They are all fashion tartans.

    Thanks for reminding me of the Highland Granite, Ted! I'd forgotten about, and moved on from it, and now... lusting again.

    Anyway, do you have a link to the ebay auction, Ealisaid?

    Sixteen ounce Strome... Ah...
    The Nightstalker is acrylic, and the Gray Granit is MMPV, by the way

    Oh.. Highland Granite Strome...

    There is a function on Scotweb that allows you to search for tartans that include a certain color, and grey is one of the colors listed. Unfortunately is does not specifically only show you ones with grey as the dominant color, but at least that is a start.

    The Moffat tartan is very grey and nice. I am not cleaver enough to bring up a picture here I am afraid.
