Different Shades of Tartan Tartan is a historically and culturally significant pattern that is made of up crossing horizontal and vertical bands or threads of colors.
The pattern is most heavily associated with Scotland due to its many uses in times of war, and Scottish kilts almost always will feature tartan patterns.
It was this way from the 17th century until the mid-19th century when many patterns were created to be associated with Scottish clans and families.
These categories simply reflect the type of dye or coloring agent that was used to create the tartan.
The colors themselves can range all across the rainbow and have meanings such as blue, symbolizing bodies of water, green for forests and prairies or yellow for crops, depending on the regional backgrounds.
More tartans can be created and added to the list of clan tartans, but they must be approved by the clan chief, and the Lord Lyon King of Arms, and then finally the Advisory Committee on Tartan.
