Another word used to denote color in heraldry is proper.. It means that an element included in a coat of arms -- an animal or object, for example -- should be colored as it appears in actuality. In these cases the colors usually carry no symbolism, but they can -- a rose or a cross might be colored to reflect a certain meaning.
