Shades: A deep, cool palette dominated by midnight navy and forest green, creating a strong, dark base. These tones are sharply contrasted by white overchecks and scarlet red stripes, giving the tartan clear definition and a bright, modern lift while maintaining a traditional Highland feel.
Design: A modern rendering of the Colquhoun sett, built around broad navy and green blocks arranged in a balanced grid. The pattern retains the clans hallmark white framing lines and red central stripes, which historically distinguish Colquhoun from other darkbased tartans. The modern dye tones deepen the colours, strengthening contrast and clarity within the classic layout.
Overall: A bold, structured tartan with a crisp, authoritative presence. Colquhoun Modern combines rich dark fields with bright, precise overstripes, making it especially suited to kilts, jackets and formal accessories. Its clear geometry and strong contrasts give it both a contemporary sharpness and a firmly rooted clan identity.
