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

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

3) GULES: Red color that symbolizes Strength, Victory, Daring and Highness.

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

* DRAGON: The Dragon symbolizes the most exquisite Care and Vigilance.

* CINQUEFOIL: The Cinquefoils symbolize Hope and Joy.
