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) SABLE: Black color that symbolizes Prudence, Sadness, Rigor, Honesty and Obedience.

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

Next lets look at the characteristics of some figures that we can find in heraldry and crests:

* LIZARD: The Lizard is a symbol of Fidelity and Hobby, for which it shows the man.

* BEZANT: The Bezants, due to its oriental significance, was adopted by most of the Knights who took part in the expedition to the Holy Land.

* LOZENGE: The Lozenges symbolize Constancy.

* CHECKY: The Checky symbolizes Military Art, for which reason it is usually awarded to soldiers who have exposed their lives in combat.

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

* TIGER: The Tiger represents Fierceness and Valour; Resentment; Dangerous if aroused.

* FLEUR-DE-LIS: The Fleur-de-lis represents the Generous Courage that, for received grievances, repeatedly returns benefits, and is a symbol of French heraldry.

* 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.
