Is it not 'armed gules on a field tenné'?
(Though that field could be or which would fit the rule of tinctures better.)

Could be. I'm not skilled in the art of describing colours in Medieval French enough to give a more correct answer.

It could be sanguine, but I felt it was too light. That's why I said tenné.

E: Originally, I wrote or. So I was even more wrong before!

I wasn't actually trying to be snarky- it does look like orange- but Heraldry Nerds really seem to hate stains (Sanguine, Murrey, and Tenne').

It creates confusion and sets their autism off or something.

People thought that the old flags for Sardinia and Corsica were racist:


so they changed them:


Objection!

Corsica's flag was changed in the 18th century, when Corsica declared independence from Genoa. The change has nothing to do with racism: Pasquale Paoli, the president of the Corsican Republic and father of the Corsican Nation changed the flag to symbolize the liberation of the Corsican people
