		The answer is No : Does not obey the rule of tincture; this one is a ringer; the field is OK, but the cross has no contrast with the ermine part and very poor with the vair part, which is half argent.

		The first rule of heraldry is the rule of tincture: metal (bright tinctures) must never be placed upon metal, nor colour (dark tinctures) upon colour, for the sake of contrast; except where this cannot be avoided, as in the case of a charge overlying a partition of the field.
		In rare instances the shield may be blazoned as being displayed on a cartouche, the tincture of which is then specified.

	Alpha Sigma Phi Coat of Arms - Heraldic Blazon
		In traditional heraldry, the "rule of tincture" states that metals (the tinctures argent and or) should not be next to metals, nor colors next to colors; a rule designed to make the arms easily identifiable in the battlefield (the original purpose of the coat of arms).
		The heraldic blazon is the description of the coat of arms in the traditional language and terminology of heraldry (derived from Old English and French).
		The heraldic tincture (color) "argent" (silver) is also used to describe the color white, while the tincture "or" (gold) also describes the color yellow.

	Precedents of the SCA College of Arms (Tenure of Bruce Draconarius of Mistholme)
		The tincture of the field counts for one CD, but according to Rule for Submission X.4.d, tinctureless armory may not count difference for the tincture of the charges.
		For tincture changes to count as difference in field only submissions, one of the tinctures must be changed to a tincture not involved with the division change.
		This has a complexity count of ten, with four types of charges and six tinctures (counting flesh proper, vert, and the gules hair separately).

	Minutes of March 2004 Meeting * Caid College of Heralds
		Generally, therefore, a canton or a single escutcheon may only be used if it is both uncharged and of a single tincture." This rule demonstrates that an uncharged escutcheon shape in a single plain tincture does not appear to be a display of an independent coat of arms.
		Therefore, a "shield shape" which is also a standard heraldic charge will be acceptable as as a fieldless badge in a plain tincture, as long as the tincture is not one of the plain tinctures that is protected armory in the SCA.
		If we do not protect, and have never protected, the arms Or, we should not be concerned about the possible appearance of a display of Or by using a single lozenge Or as a fieldless badge.

	Heraldry for Scribes
		This outlining should not be confused with fimbriation, which is a much wider line of contrasting tincture around the edge of a simple charge when otherwise that charge would violate the Rule of Tincture.
		Since a line of partition cannot face "outward" the rule is that it faces in the more "honorable" position: chief over base, dexter over sinister.
		I will specifically address the basics of heraldic drafting style (size and shape), heraldic conventions (what the blazon doesn't say), SCA specific rules, and enough heraldic terminology to understand what goes where and how it is painted.

		When a charge is the same tincture as the previous mentioned but it is not possible to write the blazon in this all inclusive manner, then the expression "of the last" is used.
		In any blazon (heraldic description), the first descriptor always refers to the colour or division of the shield, so a coat of arms that is simply described as "sable" consists of a simple black shield with no adornment.

	Variation of the field - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The charges semé do not affect the tinctures available for the major charges: they follow the rule of tincture just as they would if the field were not semé.
		In heraldry, variations of the field are any of a number of ways that a field (or a charge) may be covered with a pattern, rather than a flat tincture or a simple division of the field.
		Composed of pallets, the field is paly; of bendlets, bendy; in a bend-sinister-wise fashion (of skarpes, the diminutive in England of the bend sinister), bendy sinister; of chevronels, chevronny.
