That is the Cameron tartan, and if Peter could have seen the image he would have beat me to the punch. What you see in the tartan as a sort of "olive green" would have been originally black. I have encountered several older military kilts where the black dye has faded to this sort of drab color. Makes for a really distinctive kilt!
Peter could probably say more about the technical reasons why this occurs.
