1) ARGENT (Silver): Purity, Integrity, Obedience, Firmness, Surveillance, Eloquence and Expiration.

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

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:

* MALLET: The Mallet indicates War for the damage that it can cause to armor.

* HAND: The Hand symbolizes Open Generosity; if it is closed, Strength, and linked with another, Friendship.
