Colour:
Shades: A vibrant modern palette featuring deep navy and forest green as the dominant tones, creating a dark, saturated base. These are lifted by bright golden yellow and scarlet red overstripes, which add strong contrast and clarity. The result is bold, lively and unmistakably modern.
Design: A modern interpretation of the historic Farquharson sett, retaining the clan’s characteristic balance of green and navy blocks. The bold yellow overstripe, a defining feature of Farquharson tartans, cuts clearly through the pattern, supported by red lines that add rhythm to the grid. Its intensified colours reflect the shift from natural to modern dyes, giving the sett crisp definition.
Overall: A striking, confident tartan with a bright, energetic presence. Farquharson Modern’s strong contrasts and vivid overstripes make it ideal for kilts, jackets and accessories where a bold Highland identity is desired. Its clear geometry and rich colours ensure enduring visual impact in both traditional and contemporary dress.
