• 15:41, 9 January 2022 Karlw talk contribs created page Category:Positions (Created page with "<herald>Don't confuse "in [a position]" with "on [a thing (and ordinary or charge)]". Take the example of "chief" if you sat that something is "in chief" you mean it is at the top of the shield. But "a chief" is a thing, an ordinary, and being a thing it needs further description, a tincture (color) at least. Thus we have "a chief gules". If the chief itself is decorated with a charge, then we say either "a chief gules charged with…" or "on a chief gules". "On" is f...")
• 15:33, 9 January 2022 Karlw talk contribs created page Colour Alternatives (Created page with " == References == Heralds dislike repeating colours and will refer back to previous tinctures. The following such references are supported: <keyword>Of the field, of the first, of the second, of the third, of the fourth, of the last</keyword> In addition, if you do not provide a tincture where one is expected the next tincture encountered will be used in its place. E.g. in <keyword>Azure a bend wavy and a chief sable</keyword> the wavy bend will also be coloured sab...")
• 12:14, 3 January 2022 Karlw talk contribs created page Meanings in Heraldry (Created page with "The question "What does X ''mean'' in heraldry?" often arises, with the expectation that there is a particular symbology and meaning to the things in heraldry. Sadly, in my view, this isn't really the case for anything in a purely heraldic context. So for example, a paricular culture might consider that an image of a Fox represents ''cunning'', or that lions are ''courageous'' but these meanings belong to the objects themselves, in any context, and may well have had tho...")

Most treatments expect two colours to be used. By default, <keyword>mulletty</keyword> has the field strewn with five pointed stars. Alternatively you may use <keyword>mulletty of n points</keyword>; where n can be 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 or 10 and the word "points" is optional. The following treatments with fixed colour roundels are a...")

When drawing arms on a modern computer screen we have (literally) thousands of precise digital values to choose from, all which might appear "red". Which should we use? In reality this becomes a matt...")

• 12:36, 1 January 2022 Karlw talk contribs created page 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...")
