Talk:Argent

Clarity
This sentence is unclear:


 * "The result is a false impression that the rule of tincture has been violated in cases where argent, applied next to a dark colour, now appears to be sable next to a dark colour from tarnishing."

I am not a specialist in Heraldry, or in color-study. However, I think the meaning would be clearer if it read this way instead:


 * "This leaves a false impression that the rule of tincture has been violated in cases where when applied next to a dark colour, argent now appears to be sable due to tarnish."

I am going to make that edit and if someone disagrees, please change it. --CopperJet (talk) 18:31, 6 June 2013 (UTC)

Argentina
Since argent is the romance languages word for silver, is it possible that Argentina may have been named because of silver? Imperator Honorius 07:45, 26 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Yes indeed. The estuary dividing Argentina from Uruguay is the Rio de la Plata, River of Silver.  &mdash;Tamfang 18:00, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

Possible removal from list
An entry in List of colors: A–F contained a link to this page.

The entry is: Argent

I don't see any evidence that this color is discussed in this article and plan to delete it from the list per this discussion: Talk:List_of_colors

If someone decides that this color should have a section in this article and it is added, I would appreciate a ping.-- S Philbrick (Talk)  20:48, 3 August 2018 (UTC)
