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) AZURE: Blue color that symbolizes Justice, Zeal, Truth, Loyalty, Charity and Beauty.

2) PURPLE: Justice, Wit, Truth, Greatness, Wisdom and Love; those who wear this color are obliged to defend the Prince defending ecclesiastical people.

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:

* 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.

* MALLET: The Mallet indicates War for the damage that it can cause to armor.

* CHEVRON: The Chevron 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.

* MERMAID: The Mermaid is a symbol of Eloquence and Seduction.

* CHAIN: The Chain generally means Captivity suffered by the defense of the King or the Homeland.

* STAR: The Stars symbolize Constancy in the service to the Sovereign in the jobs of Minister or Counselor.

* RAVEN: The Raven is a symbol of the Bold and Courageous Spirit that risks itself in defense of its benefactors.

* LAUREL: The Laurel is a symbol of Good Fame, and due to the perpetual greenness of its leaves, of Imperecedera Victoria.
