    Why isn't blue more popular for tweed?

    I have noticed that while lovat green seems to be one of the most popular tweed colors, lovat blue is rarely ever seen. Why is this? I prefer the lovat blue but I'm wondering if it is considered in bad taste especially for traditional kilt wearers in the Highlands of Scotland? When it comes to green tweeds I like the darker greens, but they remind me too much of the Masters' jackets to pull the trigger on one in that color. I'm sure I am overthinking this, I often do, but should I avoid the lovat blue?

    If you don't know about the Masters jacket you can read about it here.
