A heraldic term referring to the colors or tinctures used in coats of arms and heraldic designs.
From French 'couleur' meaning 'color,' from Latin 'color.' In heraldry, it refers to the specific colors and color combinations used in arms.
Heraldic colors have special names—'gules' for red, 'azure' for blue—because heraldry was so important that regular color words weren't fancy enough!
