Murrey
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For the English cricketer, see Barbara Murrey.
In heraldry, murrey is a "stain", an occasionally used tincture.
According to dictionaries, murrey is the colour of mulberries, somewhere between gules (red) and purpure (violet), almost maroon;[1] but examples registered in Canada[2] and Scotland[3] show it as a reddish brown.
The Flag of the Second Spanish Republic (in the 1930s) was a tricolour of horizonal stripes of red, yellow and murrey.
