that's not a separate layer, so the contrast rule doesn't apply. It's not
a green thing layed heraldically on top of a purple thing; it's a purple thing
with green frou-frou layed on a white thing.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

not sure how to blazon it, but as given, it's very reminiscent (but clear) of
Mistress Alisandre Oliphant: " Argent, an elephant passant purpure, armed Or, on
a chief embattled purpure three annulets Or". Mistress Alisandre is an

size=2>I have someone who would like a device of a purple elephant with a
green blanket across the back (like a saddle) on a white field. My
question is would the blanket and elephant violate the contrast rule?
Also, how would you blazon it? <BR><BR>Lord Donnchadh Beag mac Griogair
