Pink Tartan?
Hello Rabble!
Does anyone know if there is a tartan with mostly pink or pink and purple? My wife has caught the kilt bug and she wants something a little feminine (read: girly ). Any help would be appreciated!!

There is no colour code for pink but I put pink in the keyword search and the Ferret returned the following.

Thanks for that link!
BTW I thought that in tartan terminology "rose" was normally used rather than "pink", though I could be wrong.
I note that in the slideshow style sequence of images in the upper right, lovely examples of mid-19th century Highland Dress from The Highlanders of Scotland alternate with generally dull (and in several cases, hideous) modern Highland Dress. I wonder what point they're trying to make....

How about this? From the Wizard of B.C., and modeled by Panache's Flame-Haired Celtic Amazon Goddess (F-H.C.A.G.)

Here's the link to the thread, if you care to see more.

The problem, with "pink death" (pink camo) fabric, as I understand it, is that it's no longer available, and the source for it has possible dried up. But let's just say that if it became available again, MY wife would probably like something made from it (like a mini-kilt or something).
I've checked the Scottish Tartan Register, and came up with "Aisla Pink" - a fashion (dance) tartan (STA ref: 7587).
Also, try "Kyle Pink" STA:7588 or "Sunart Pink" STA:7586.

A lot of dancers' tartans meet that description.

Many otherwise red tartans "wash out" to pink in weathered or ancient colors. I can't find one that started out mostly red ( no Weathered Royal Stewart) but those with red accents, like MacLeod, Stewart of Appin, and Anderson end up with a nice warm rose-to-pink line. Trouble is, there is a ladies' clothing line called Pink Tartan, which seems to have little or nothing to do with our tartans. It just gets in the way in searches.
