It was the same for me Raptor, The grey exposed hue when pleated the way it is subdues it but when the pleats swing open as it does there it is amazing the contrast. Even flat it is a beautiful tartan. I didn't read anything more into this than just what the poll asked, I did not take into account symbolism or anything else.
