Heraldic colours

I am a fan of 'useless' information, so here is something I gleaned from the Internet:

Heraldic Colours.

Metals:

Metals consist of Gold, commonly called Or, and Silver, commonly called Argent

Gold / Or
Silver / Argent

Colors:

Red / Gules
Blue / Azure
Black / Sable
Green / Vert
Purple / Purpure
Orange / Tenne.
Blood Red / Sanguine.

Here is an article on heraldry from Wikipedia.

P. S.

It is J. R. R. Tolkien's birthday, and he is 116 today. Happy Birthday J. R. R.!
