Five colours have been recognized since the earliest days of heraldry. These are: ""gules"", or red; ""sable"", or black; ""azure"", or blue; ""vert"", or green; and ""purpure"", or purple.

The term azure derives from the name of the deep blue stone now called lapis lazuli (stone of ""Lazhward"").
