"arms; in case of dispute, the individual who can prove the longest right to the blazon must be decided in court. Many of the terms in international heraldry come from French. Like the British system of heraldry, the French follow the ""Rule of Tinctures"". This states that there are two types of Tinctures (heraldic colors): the colors ""Sable"" (black), ""Gueules"" (red), ""Sinople"" (green) and ""Azur"" (blue) and metals ""Or"" (gold or yellow) and ""Argent"" (silver or white).

The arms were : ""Or, a turreted castle of three storeys Sable; on a chief Sable three escallops Argent, all within a bordure Gules charged with four bezants and four heraldic fountains alternately"". In layman's terms, the shield displays a three-storeyed black castle on a golden background, below a black horizontal strip bearing three silver scallop shells, all surrounded by a red border bearing four gold coins alternating with four white and blue-striped discs. The crest was an armed holding a sledgehammer in front of agolden rising sun; the supporters were two springboks wearing blue"
"and Or. However, in the heraldry of Germany, Polish heraldry and other parts of central Europe, sable is not infrequently placed on colour fields. As a result, a sable cross may appear on a red shield, or a sable bird may appear on a blue or a red field, as in the arms of Albania. In Hungary, for example, one can find examples of sable on gules and azure fields as early as the sixteenth century in the arms of the family Kanizsai (granted in 1519): ""álló, csücskös talpú tárcsapajzs kék mezejében, lebegő arany saslábon fekete sasszárny, jobbról ezüst félholdtól,"
"Szabla Szabla (; plural: ""szable"") is the Polish word for sabre. The sabre was in widespread use in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth during the Early Modern period, especially by light cavalry during 17th century. The sabre became widespread in Europe following the Thirty Years' War and was also adopted by infantry. In particular, it served as one of the symbols of the nobility and aristocracy (szlachta), who considered it to be one of the most important pieces of men's traditional attire. The first type of szabla, the Hungarian-Polish (""węgiersko-polska""), was popularized among the szlachta during the reign of the Transylvanian-Hungarian King"

The Lascaux Cave in France contains drawings of bulls and other animals drawn by paleolithic artists between 18,000 and 17,000 years ago. They began by using charcoal, and then made more vivid black pigments by burning bones or grinding a powder of manganese oxide. For the ancient Egyptians, black had positive associations; being the color of fertility and the rich black soil flooded by the Nile. It was the color of Anubis, the god of the underworld, who took the form of a black jackal, and offered"

"rarely occurring tincture in heraldry (not being one of the seven main colours or metals or the three ""staynard colours""). This tincture is sometimes also called ciel or simply celeste. It is depicted in a lighter shade than the range of shades of the more traditional tincture azure, which is the standard blue used in heraldry. It has been used rarely since the 17th century, gaining popularity after the First World War. The first recorded use of ""cerulean"" as a color name in English was in 1590. The word is probably derived from the Latin word ""caeruleus"", ""dark blue, blue,"
"to those parts of the device that were argent. Over time, the silver content of these depictions has tarnished and darkened. As a result, it can sometimes be difficult to distinguish regions that were intended as argent from those that were sable. This leaves a false impression that the rule of tincture has been violated in cases where, when applied next to a dark colour, argent now appears to be sable due to tarnish. Arthur Charles Fox-Davies argued extensively in his book ""The Art of Heraldry: An Encyclopaedia of Armory"" that, though extremely rare, the colour white existed as an"

In medieval heraldry, gules was by far the most common tincture, followed by the metals argent and or, at least one of which necessarily appeared on the majority of arms (see below). Among the colours, sable was the second most common, followed by azure; vert, although present from the formative period of heraldic design, was relatively scarce. Over time, the popularity of azure increased above that of sable, while gules, still the most common, became less dominant. A survey of French arms granted"

Unless in English heraldry, Orange is not to be confused with tenné (""tanné""), which depicts the color of tanned leather and then slowly became a tincture of its own, along with carnation used for white human skin.
