Ah, I see. Yes I have that book, and it shows a kilt made of a tartan which has a pale grey background.

I thought you were talking about a kilt made of the same fabric as the WWI tunics and trousers were, a self-coloured (plain) kilt in the colour called "khaki" in the UK but called "olive drab" in the US. I've never seen a kilt like that, though people tell me about them all the time, claiming that Scottish regiments were issued them. In every case the photo turns out to be of the London Scottish.

By the way, the colour plates in those Osprey books vary greatly in quality and reliablity from book to book and I always follow actual photographs rather than those plates. Some Osprey plates are outrageously incorrect.
