Yes, a darker brown. It's a smart complement to the tartan under discussion.

So interesting that you chose the word compliment!

Because that word happens to have a technical meaning in art-speak.

Here's a colour-wheel



Colours that are directly across from each other, for example red and green, are termed "complimentary" colours.

As we know a vast number of tartans are based on that exact pair.

You'll note that also directly across from one another are blue and orange, the very "complimentary" pair that, to my eye, works so well with the Glen Affric tartan.

And, yes, Universities and sports teams etc often pick a complimentary pair for their school or team colours.
