We just have to keep in mind that with tartans "green" in the thread-count just means green; the sort of green used is at the discretion of the weaver. Ditto "blue" and all other colours.
So this tartan can appear with the pastel blues and greens seen in that image. Or, at the weaver's discretion, the green could be changed to a deep forest green and the blue to a dark Navy blue and it's still the same tartan.
I gave examples of this tartan rendered with various shades of blue and green- they are all the identical tartan (the same image, in fact) with the colours shifted darker and/or duller.
Sorry I don't know if I'm putting this into words clearly.
