Maybe I should have articulated a disappointment on the variants that left me unimpressed with the outcome with this particular tartan. No doubt the computer program with the algorithms that can translate modern colours to that of reproduction and ancient is impressive. Granted. You also qualified it by saying the human eye will intervene.
In this case the original colours in the tartan are somewhat muted, subtle versions of "Oranje", Heather, and Thistle. In the process of projecting what the tartan may look like if weathered, has, in my mind and opinion, gone too far. Having said that, who's to say that in fact it is more appealing to someone else.
The tartan has a link to the Scot's, in relation to their part in the liberation of Holland during the second world war.
In it's original form, for those in the know, it is the only version it needs to be, the ancient and reproduction variants become meaningless to the original concept of the tartan in my opinion.
