Sanguine (heraldry)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sanguine is a tincture in heraldry, otherwise one of the "staynard colours" (stains). In the past it was sometimes taken to be equivalent to murrey, but they are now definitely considered two distinct tinctures. It is a brownish red, the colour of arterial blood.[1]
