It does seem to be the case that Hodden Grey has changed over time so theres likely to be a good deal of variation from light grey to light maroon...

"Originally the cloth was a light grey, but over time shades of brown and purple were introduced."

From the "Scottish Tartans Museum" http://albanach.org/articles.html?http%3A//albanach.org/solid_kilt.html

Kind of expected that it might be originally grey

I wasn't trying to suggest that any of my (or anyone's) monitors are wrong or infallible. I hope I just said that colours look different on them.

Changing the subject, I am looking out for some eyes decals (transfers), similar to those painted on Greek ships. I want my tanks to see where they are going!

Little Big Men Studios look promising, but I can't find a search function.

Any suggestions anyone?

Grey? You think??

Thanks for that Ironsides. I keep seeing it was an indescribable shade of brown-ish grey.

cheers.
