Zangrius inscribed into the oval escutcheon of his hatching table both the heraldic and standard French language appellations of the given tinctures as follows – Or, Argent, Geulle and Rouge (gules), Azur and Bleu (azure), Sinople and Verd [Vert (vert). The hatching used by him for these tinctures is identical with contemporary hatching methods. The only difference in Zangrius' system was the hatching of the colour sable (Sable and Noir by Zangrius), i.e. crossing of vertical and diagonal lines from the heraldic left to right instead of the present day's crossing of vertical and horizontal lines.
