> I naïvely hoped I could just fix it with a bucket tool but it's not as simple, lol. It's way simpler than that: open it, click it; you'll see everything is selected, so it's grouped (also visible in the status bar that describes the selection). Double click to enter the group; now you can select the correct shape. Once you have selected the shape you want to change, you can change its color by using the color bar, or bring up the color selector (from the UI, background and outline, or Ctrl-Shift-F). However, I'd be cautious before modifying it. Do you have a better source than these for the colors? Ideally, in writing. I can see some red eyes and black claws (with a central gradient similar to the one on the prickly pears) on your [3], which is closest to the Wikimedia image. The other two images have different colors and shapes for a lot of elements, including the plants. There's another variant on that page: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Mexico_coat_of_arms.png https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Mexico_coat_of_arms....
