True with Saxon dress but not necessarily true with Highland dress.

Back in the 1940's up through the 1960's most civilian Day Dress sporrans were brown, but were nearly always worn with black Ghillie-ties. (Brown Ghillies and black day sporrans were both uncommon.)

I know it really jumped out at me the first time I saw a guy with all his leatherwork a matching shade of brown! It looked odd to me.
