- 12:36, 1 January 2022 diff hist +2,851 N Colours Created page with "Traditional heraldry has quite a restricted range of colours. This was largely because the original intention was instant recognition of arms, even from a distance or in poor light. There was no room for debate about whether a shade was "scarlet" or "maroon" - in early heraldry if it look "reddish" then red it was! Although the names for heraldic colours did not come from English but other languages, mostly French, so the heraldic word for "all shades of red" is actually..."

On being shown the first draft, you might say things like - "That's lovely, but can you make the lion a bit larger and move it up a bit?". The same dialogue is possible with DrawShield, using the "Artist Hints" extension. These are placed within the blazon itself and should follow whatever it is the hint is about.
