Registered with the Court of Lord Lyon King of Arms in 1961, the Saskatchewan District Tartan is a two-block tartan with seven different shades:  gold to represent prairie wheat, brown for summerfallow, green for the forests, yellow for canola and sunflower, red for the western red lily, white for snow, and black for coal and oil.

The Saskatchewan Dress Tartan was introduced in 1997 for competitive highland dancers on the occasion of the Canadian Interprovincial Highland Dancing Championships held that year in Regina.  It is a variant of the Saskatchewan District Tartan, with the off-white line of the original tartan becoming the background colour of the dress version.
