In heraldry, murrey (/ˈmʌri/) is a "stain", or a non-standard tincture, of a dark reddish purple colour.
Overview
According to dictionaries, murrey is the colour of mulberries, somewhere between gules (red) and purpure (violet), almost maroon; but examples registered in Canada and Scotland show it as a reddish brown.
The livery colours of the House of York in the fifteenth century were azure and murrey, as depicted on the shields of the Falcon of the Plantagenets and the White Lion of Mortimer, two of the Queen's Beasts.
The Flag of the Second Spanish Republic (in the 1930s) was a tricolour of horizontal stripes of red, yellow and murrey.
