The Scottish Registry of Tartans (http://www.tartanregister.gov.uk/) is the definitive source for the registration of new tartans and a great resource point in researching existing tartans.
NB; The shades of colour in a tartan can be altered to produce variations of the same tartan.
Modern, ancient and muted are used to term the results of these variations and refer to colour only.
Modern muted represents a tartan which has been coloured using a chemical as opposed to natural dye which in comparison, tends to produce a very strong, dark colour.
Ancient refers to a lighter shade of tartan - meant to represent the colours that would result from the fabric aging over time.
Muted is a very modern type of tartan - dating from the early 1970's - as refers to a tartan which is a shade between modern and ancient in an attempt to re-create the shades attained by natural dyes before the mid-19th century.
