==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.
