I have a question about heraldic colors: Can someone describe a heraldic pallet in terms of W&N Gouache or a Pantone system? I'm particularly interested in how to represent red, green, blue and purple. (Black is pretty much black, huh?) And when should one use metallic gold and silver as opposed to yellow and white? (and if you're using yellow, what shade)? I've been told that helms should be metallic and mantling should not. Is the rest pretty much up to the scribe and recipient?
