Best Tartans Pleated to Stripe?

cavscout: the Transvaal Scottish Regiment wear the Murray of Atholl tartan. My e-mail made it sound like they have their own tartan -- I'm going in to correct that now! :mrgreen:

This weekend while I was at the Texas Scottish Festival, I was looking at the Texas Bluebonnet tartan bolt at one of the booths, and I was thinking that it might look good pleated to stripe. Here are a couple of links to sites that, at least on my monitor show the overall colors accurately, at least for the lighter blue. (Most sites show it as more of a bright turquoise blue.) The narrow dark red stripes, however, were more prominent.

This next link shows more of the overall repeat -- the blues are off on my monitor, and the yellow / gold stripe in this example was white or light grey on the bolt I saw (like the earlier links):

I have been thinking that pleating to the white / light grey stripe might be nice, with the dark red and green stripes revealed as the pleats move . . . thoughts?
