 | | Tenne, Murrey and Sanguine are 'stains' that are used in British Heraldry and as they are not 'colours' are not subject to the 'colour rule'. |
 | | [Stains (in British heraldry, anyway) are considered to have the same properties as the colours and are, when used, treated as such.] Blue-Celeste is also used extensively these days especially in conjunction with arms and flags associated with Aviation. |
 | | None of these are very common, if to be found at all, in the heraldry of English-speaking countries, but brunâtre, carnation, and cendrée are translated as brown, [Caucasian] flesh color, and ashen gray respectively. |
