Red KnightTo show his affection for a woman, a knight would wear her scarf or any clothing element in his tournaments.

Gold (Or)- Generosity and elevation of the mind

Red (Gules)(Qu)- Warrior or martyr; Military strength and magnanimity

Orange (Tawny or Tenne)- Worthy ambition

Would that I could strike out at her torment, wearing a sash of said colors... casting down those that would cause her such anguish and annoyance today... Drive a lance through the heart of the vile Server Knave (no king, he!) and then sweep my lady off of her feet for a comfortable time together, free of struggle and full of pleasure.

Other colors as well, for completeness -

Silver (Argent)- Peace and sincerity

Blue (Azure)- Truth and loyalty

Green (Vert)- Hope, vitality, plenty also joy, and loyalty in love

Black (Sable)(Sa)- Constancy or grief

Purple (Purpure)- Royal majesty, sovereignty, and justice

Maroon (Sanguine or Murray)- Patient in battle, and yet victorious.

seems like it should be a tapestry from medieval times.
