Since 'overall' charges are defined as lying on the field, it must have
proper contrast with the field.  In this case, it would need to be a
color.  It cannot be the same color as the charge it's overlying, or
else it'd be too obscuring.

The example given in the RfS has a sable fess overlying a purpure lion.
About the only worse color-color contrasting pair I can think of would
be blue and purple.
