What were William Wallace's colors on his Tartan?

William Wallace was not a Highlander so it is highly doubtful if would have ever worn Tartan or a kilt. There are no pictures of him from his time and therefore the majority of pictures and statues are stylisation's of their time and also have him dressed as what he was, a knight with a simple cloak covering his armour, nothing like the Mel Gibson portrayal. Few picture shows this cloak to be checked. The earliest Wallace Tartan recorded was shown in the Vestiarium Scoticum of 1842 a highly dubious (most Historians say forged) book of tartans produced by supposed descendants of Bonnie Prince Charlie (the Sobieski Stuart's) which turned out to be a con. There were few accurate records of Tartans in existence before they were commercially produced after Culloden (1746) by Wilsons in the main. The whole idea of Clan tartans is to quote Sir Walter Scott "the idea of distinguishing the clans by their tartans is but a fashion of modern date . . .". because tartans were originally related to districts not clans (he also poured scorn on Lowlanders wearing tartan). The tartan in the film Braveheart was invented for the film in 1994 based on using naturally occurring dyes available in the 13th century on a traditional Islay weaving technique which is why it is so much darker and subdued than modern tartans. It is not however based on any historical records for Wallace. Lesson - don't ever try to learn history from films, it may spark the interest and be good entertainment but it is often nonsense. Link below if you still want modern myth.
