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) OR (Gold): Nobility, Magnanimity, Wealth, Power, Light, Constancy and Wisdom.

2) AZURE: Blue color that symbolizes Justice, Zeal, Truth, Loyalty, Charity and Beauty.

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:

* PIGEON: The Pigeon is a symbol of Health; in the coat of arms it denotes Fidelity and Love. It is the emblem of the Third Person of the Holy Trinity and, as such, adorns the currency of the French Order of the Holy Spirit.

* AXE: The Axe symbolizes Death caused to the enemy, and also an ax or wick to illuminate.

* KEY: The Keys symbolize Fidelity and Secrecy.

* HOLM: The Holm Oak is a symbol of Strong and Constant Spirit in heroic actions and courageous undertakings.

* THISTLE: The Thistle symbolizes in Heraldry a heart nobly humble, but so careful of its honor, that it defends with its sword the luster of its lineage.

* HEART: The Heart is a symbol of Vigilant Vassal. In its fiery color, it demonstrates Warmth of mind and loving expression of Affection.

* CABRIO: The Cabrio symbolizes the boots and spurs, and for this reason it was granted as an adornment of the shield to the Knight who was wounded from the combat in his legs.
