    And another.

    I certainly understand the confusion over what the exact color palette of the tartan is. So far, almost every picture looks different. The first pictures from Paul Henry looked very brown. They were shot with outdoor, afternoon light (exactly as you suspected, Benning Boy!). Then the ones with the tape, measuring the sett were shot indoors. Now these pictures by Barb show a much more gray tartan (which is what I expected). I'm REALLY curious to see the stuff in person!

    In a way, I'm finding this to be fascinating, how the appearance of the tartan changes so much with the lighting. While it's confusing as all get-out here online, I think the, well..."natural ambiguity" of the coloration is actually rather cool. It really is a lot like the Wildcats natural color, it blends with the lighting and surroundings. It's very "catlike" which is exactly what we were hoping for.
