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) PURPLE: Justice, Wit, Truth, Greatness, Wisdom and Love; those who wear this color are obliged to defend the Prince defending ecclesiastical people.
2) OR (Gold): Nobility, Magnanimity, Wealth, Power, Light, Constancy and Wisdom.
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:
* NETTLE: The Nettle symbolizes Affliction.
* GRAPE: The Grapes symbolizes Liberality, felicity, and peace; also, association with wine-making.
* PEACOCK: The Peacock, by its head denotes Prudence; for his chest, of gold and sapphire, Loyalty, Fidelity and Zeal; in the hidden and submissive of his steps, Secret, and in the terribly out of tune voice of his singing, Terror of enemies.
* 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.
* 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.
* YOKE: The Yoke symbolizes Unity.
* TURTLE: The Turtle is one of the most noble figures, being a symbol of the Knight who retires late from combat, facing his enemy until the last moment, trusting in his own strength.
