The Maple Leaf tartan, designed to symbolize the deep and vibrant colours of Canada’s maple leaves throughout the seasons, beautifully integrates a range of colours that reflect the natural transformation. The primary colours used in this tartan include dark green and dark red, which represent the maple leaf at the peak of summer and during the early fall. Accents of light brown and dark brown echo the transition of the leaf as autumn progresses, while hints of gold capture the fleeting beauty of the leaves under the autumn sun.

This tartan, though not originally Scottish, has been embraced for its representation of the natural beauty and the changing seasons, resonating particularly with those of Canadian descent. The Maple Leaf tartan serves not only as a cultural emblem but also as a piece of art that tells the story of change and endurance through its thoughtful colour scheme and design.
