    Nothing wrong with those at all. As far as I'm concerned anyway.

    I bought a pair of pink hose some time ago. Found they go with many tartans you'd not expect. Can't find photos of them being worn - though I have worn them. Did find pics with some tartans.

    This with the Arizona tartan.



    And this with the Dutch Friendship tartan



    And here with the Dress Blue Marine tartan



    'tis a much more versatile color kilt hose than one would initially think.

    I have worn pink hose quite happily from time to time, I don’t have a pair in the drawer at the moment though. The Duke of Argyll is often seen wearing them with his kilt.

    Pink..?

    Would retailers not call them something like 'Crushed Raspberry' as being so typically Scottish..?

    I have fond memories of breakfasting off the wild fruit, after a night sleeping 'wild' in the heather, and the stain left on the hands is a very similar shade.

    Here you go, a couple of years ago, mind, but pink nonetheless

    I know things show up differently on everyone's monitors, but on my laptop only Stevie's hose are what I might call "pink", and even those aren't a true pink to my eye.

    I'd seen Rothesay's lovely hose in photos; it wouldn't have occurred to me that they were pink, but at the same time I wouldn't know what to call that colour. "Coral" perhaps??

    Wow here's tons of "coral" tones

    Coral is a term for tones of orange and red, created by adding gray.

    When looking at your referenced Pantones, some are clearly tints, tones, and hues of orange, but on the right are predominantly pink.

    When looking at the red of the garter, the hue is clearly different but not to the orange hue, in my eyes…

    Steve and I went to the same vendor and they are the same colour. Yes each monitor and each photo will be different due to lighting as well as other factors.
