> “The heraldic scholar A. C. Fox-Davies proposed that, in some circumstances, white should be considered a heraldic colour, distinct from argent” I took a look, just because Fox-Davies can be absurdly and amusingly pedantic about that stuff: He only postulates White as tincture for labels of cadency – as in the CoA of the Prince of Wales. The idea is to difference it from argent. The supporters of the PoW’s CoA are a lion or and the unicorn argent – both with a label. If the label was argent it would be a violation of the rule of tinctures for the lion and without distinction from the unicorn. https://archive.org/details/completeguidetoh00foxdrich/page/70 https://archive.org/details/completeguidetoh00foxdrich/page/... But I don’t think heraldic rules apply for flags. For banners and standards, which are CoAs in flag form, but the general flags are not CoA.
