There's the tincture of the person as well as the tincture of the
clothing.  The next tincture in the blazon says "proper".  The CoA
Glossary of Terms, Table 3, Conventional "Proper" Colorings, says that
"proper" for a person is "Caucasian by default, i.e., pink or white".

The clothes are brown in the scan.

Danet de Linccolne, whose current arms and badge can be drawn using
only a ruler
