The heraldic tincture gold, one of the two metals.
Also known as: Gold (heraldic tincture)
Gold, and one of the two heraldic metals alongside argent. In engravings without colour it is shown as a field of dots. Blazon names tinctures rather than describing them, so 'Or' in a blazon is the colour, not the conjunction.
The heraldic tincture gold, classed as a metal along with argent.
Represented in uncoloured engraving by a field of evenly spaced dots, under the hatching convention attributed to Silvestro Petra Sancta in the seventeenth century.
May be depicted as yellow rather than metallic gold without any change of meaning; the blazon fixes the tincture, not the pigment.
A gold or yellow tincture, shown in uncoloured engraving as a field of evenly spaced dots.
The two heraldic metals, which the rule of tincture treats as a pair.
