''as of 6/2022''
'''Low-Contrast Complex Lines of Division'''
 
All combinations of tinctures which have good contrast (as defined in [http://heraldry.sca.org/laurel/sena.html#A3B2 A.3.B.2]) are allowed with plain line and complex lines of division.
The primary standard for low-contrast complex lines of division is that they be readily identifiable.
Combinations that share a background tincture (e.g. ''argent'' and ''ermine'') are not allowed.
 
Combinations of tinctures which do not have good contrast and do not share a background tincture are allowed for:
In many cases, a charge overlying a low-contrast complex line of division will render the line of division unidentifiable. Thus, divided fields with low-contrast tinctures with complex lines of division will be registered with a charge overlying the line division only if the line of division remains readily identifiable.
* Plain lines of division
 
* Complex lines of division if the armory is field-primary
In some cases, even if there is no overlying charge, a low-contrast complex line of division may be unidentifiable and thus unregisterable. Similarly, in some cases, the specific shades used in a submission may render a low-contrast complex line of division unidentifiable and thus unregisterable, even if the combination has previously been registered.
Fields with low-contrast tinctures separated by complex lines of division may be obscured by primary charges. Thus, divided fields with low-contrast tinctures with complex lines of division will be registered with an overlying charge only if the identity of the line of division is clear.
 
Some low-contrast complex line combinations which have been registered recently are:
* argent and Or: with a right step
*azure and gules: embattled
*azure and vert: embattled
*gules and sable: arrondi; indented; rayonny
*gules and purpure: indented
*gules and vert: enarched
*purpure and vert: wavy
*sable and vert: dovetailed; indented
 
Some low-contrast complex line combinations which have been ruled unregisterable, even when there is no overlying charge, are:
*sable and purpure
*sable and azure
