The Clan's tartan
Sample of the DunBroch tartan as registered of the Scottish Register of Tartans
The tartan worn by the members of the clan is mainly colored in gray, dark turquoise, and scarlet.
The DunBroch tartan pattern is physically impossible to make with traditional tartan weaving methods.[1]
Disney/Pixar has registered its pattern on the Scottish Register of Tartans, and gave the following information :
| “ | The DunBroch Tartan was designed with subdued, rich colours to reflect the rugged, natural setting of Scotland. Representative of the tartan worn by the Royal Family in 'Brave', the pattern is neither splashy nor bright, but organically refined in its colour sense. There was a concerted effort to use hues that were indicative of the less saturated dyeing techniques during the ancient period in which the fantasy film is set.

It should be noted however that the tartan officially registered is somewhat different from the one in the movie, the latter being made of a very coarse fabric that doesn't have as much detail and color. Nevertheless, it matches the one John Lasseter, Mark Andrews and others wore for premieres of Brave.
