    I thought it was a little darker with more tan but I guess it must be the lighting in the pictures. Thanks!

    At a guess, I think you might have in mind the tartan in "modern" colours, which will be darker.

    It looks like MacDonald of Clanranald in the muted colors, likely woven by House of Edgar.

    I ditto Matt's guess. The 3 mills that weave MacDonald Clanranald Muted are Strathmore, HOE and MM. To me, it looks like either MM or HOE.
