Because of the difference in opinion of which COA should be used in articles, I am asking for a wider community consensus. Which file should rather be used on the english wiki, the work by Escondites or the updated COA by Kingroyos? [[User:Kingroyos|Kingroyos]] ([[User talk:Kingroyos|talk]]) 19:04, 11 April 2014 (UTC) |

:::Which is just blue, yellow, green, red and white in heraldic terms. For the colors Pantone descriptions are given (Pantone Reflex Blue, Pantone Green and Pantone 2X), while the metals are given as "Metallic Gold" and "Metallic Silver". All of these are still ambiguous, so I'd just assume the government is consistent with its own rules and extract the colors from the image, which are #0752a5, #c6a45a, #009649, #e72221 and #dedede in RGB.

I know the source says that the sinister supporter is "a sambur deer per head embattled argent and gules". But shouldn't it be "a sambur deer per bend embattled argent and gules"? — BillC talk 03:27, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
Assessment Comment
Although I first thought of a coat of arms as an image, it seems this here is more an article about this coat of arms. So, I reassess it as start. I suppose it looks fairly complete as a description of the image. However, as an article, there is scope for describing the origin of the selection of this coat of arms, its history, usage, etc.Gallador (talk) 16:38, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
RfC: Which coat of arms should be used?
Because of the difference in opinion of which COA should be used in articles, I am asking for a wider community consensus. Which file should rather be used on the english wiki, the work by Escondites or the updated COA by Kingroyos? Kingroyos (talk) 19:04, 11 April 2014 (UTC)

Threaded discussion
- I tried to improve the COA to bring it closer to the original one. Both the shape of the shield and bottom banner is completely different from the original COA (see [1] and [2]), the COA of Mauritius has never had such shapes, the colours of the new one is much more beautiful and match the official description (see [3]), whereas the other one doesn't, i also tried to made a more realistic sugarcane. Kingroyos (talk) 19:04, 11 April 2014 (UTC)
- To me neither version looks very much like the image from the government site; both the trees held by the supporters and the trees on the shield are completely different and the gold and white colors are darker on the official version (almost brown and grey). I do wonder why I was invited to comment here. SiBr4 (talk) 15:17, 17 April 2014 (UTC)
