    There's a lot of different greens with tweeds! And they end up getting called various things.

    I'm trying to think of the ones I've seen.

    Lovat Green: marled green and blue threads, a soft blue-ish green

    Highland Green or Tartan Green: more or less the green seen in tartan

    Moss: a light soft olive-tinged green

    Feldgrau: I don't know what the Scottish makers call it, but it's not Lovat, not Moss, and exactly the colour that the German military calls Feldgrau

    Bottle Green: a dark green like US 'forest green'

    Archer Green: an extremely dark green that's often mistaken for black unless seen in strong light

    Here, three of the doublets are Archer Green
