Two comments: 1) Sanguine and Murrey are really the same color (a deep, blood red). 2) Both murrey and tenne are not colors used in SCA heraldry. Have there been instances of their use (which would be very cool) ? Most heraldic texts that I've read imply that murrey is a misinterpretation of heraldic depictions for what was really meant to be purpure. Apparently what passed as purple in 14th c. England had more resemblance to burgundy red than what we call purple today.
