Basic Information:[edit | edit source]

Many combinations of gules and vert (red and green), especially gules on vert and vert on gules, would be considered low contrast and would be un-registerable using the Core Style rules. They would have to be registered as an Individually Attested Pattern formerly known as a Regional Style Exception. See SENA - [[1]]
