Laborde believes that the final choice came down to purple, gold and green or purple, gold and black. Then, also according to rules that determine coat of arms, there are only five acceptable color choices: Red, blue, purple, green and black. ![]() Then, according to “heraldry,” you need both “metals” and “colors.” When it came to metals, gold also seemed obvious for a king.
