Does anyone have experience with heraldic illustrations in Photoshop?
I’m wondering if there are any standards or even common suggestions as to what RGB colors to use to reproduce the definitions of the tinctures in English or European heraldry [gules (red), azur (blue), sable (black), vert (green), purpure (purple, sanguine (rust, dried blood)]. The two metals are easy, of course, use white for argent (silver), yellow or old gold for Or (gold).
For instance, illustrators are directed to use vermillion paints or inks to render gules (red), etc. Perhaps in this age of digital illustrations there are norms for the numbers in RGB colors. A Google search found quite a few hits, but I wonder how authoritative they are.
This one looks good to my eyes:

(Still, it’s missing sanguine.)
Any thoughts?
