Heraldic Tinctures: Tincture is the limited palette of colors and patterns used in heraldry. They are classified as metals, colours, or furs. As a general rule of Heraldic Design, do not put Metals on Metals or Colors on Colors.

Stains
Stains (stainand colours or staynard colours): are generally not used in SCA Heraldry. In medieval heraldry, the use of a stain represents a less-than honorable augmentation (abatement or rebatement) imposed by an heraldic authority or by royal decree for misconduct. These colours include:
- Murrey: Deep mulberry-coloured, or reddish purpl (Darker than Purpure).
- Sanguine: Blood-red (darker than Gules)
- Tenné (tawny): orange-tawny colour, though orange is considered distinct in continental European and African heraldic traditions.
