Heraldic tinctures

The colours, metals and stains of European coats of arms. Heraldry fixes the name, not the shade: any clear red is gules. The values here are common modern renderings.

A named colour is not a fixed standard: different sources give different values for the same name. Each swatch links to where its value comes from.
