'Weathered' red tartan

Does anyone make a 'weathered' version of a predominately red tartan, and if so what happens to the red? Most are predominately blue, that becomes gray, and green, that becomes brown.

some times it turns orange or a red-brown, least to my observation.

Reds become a rather nice red-orange.

Well, I have a kilt in weathered MacLean of Duart. The red is lighter. Some would say almost a shade of pink.

this is my other half's skirt it is The Chisholm weathered tartan
id say its more a autumnal red ,i believe its harder to get hold of this tartan than the other Chisholm tartans available id imagine due to the tones of dyes used
