One of the most distinctive qualities of heraldry is the use of a limited palette of colours and patterns, usually referred to as tinctures. These are divided into three categories, known as metals, colours, and furs.
Next we are going to see the meanings of three tinctures:
1) GULES: Red color that symbolizes Strength, Victory, Daring and Highness.
2) ARGENT (Silver): Purity, Integrity, Obedience, Firmness, Surveillance, Eloquence and Expiration.
3) SABLE: Black color that symbolizes Prudence, Sadness, Rigor, Honesty and Obedience.
Next lets look at the characteristics of some figures that we can find in heraldry and crests:
* SEA: The Sea symbolizes a raging and wrathful spirit that does not lose, however, the limits of the obedience that it owes to its sovereign.
* SWAN: The Swan, by the tradition that he sings sweetly when he is about to die, means Ancient Nobility, without stain of any kind, who dies courageously executing glorious undertakings.
* CABRIO: The Cabrio symbolizes the boots and spurs, and for this reason it was granted as an adornment of the shield to the Knight who was wounded from the combat in his legs.
* MALLET: The Mallet indicates War for the damage that it can cause to armor.
* GYRON: The Gyron represents Favor.
* THISTLE: The Thistle symbolizes in Heraldry a heart nobly humble, but so careful of its honor, that it defends with its sword the luster of its lineage.
* KNIGHT: The Knight symbolizes the Nobility.
* BULL: The Bull symbolizes Generous Chest, in whom the memories of his lineage, represented in the red of his blood, inflame the desire for great enterprises.
