Escudo de España (Colores THV) Hoodie - Design Overview
This hoodie showcases the official Coat of Arms of Spain, rendered in the precise colors defined by the Real Decreto 2267/1982. This ensures an accurate and visually consistent representation of the national emblem.
Detailed Heraldic Representation
The design faithfully reproduces the official heraldic description established in the Real Decreto 2964/1981. It is a complex composition of symbolic elements, each rich with meaning.
Quarters and Central Elements
The first quarter features a golden castle, crenellated and set against a red (gules) background, representing the Kingdom of Castile. The second quarter presents a purple (púrpura) lion rampant on a silver (plata) field, symbolizing the Kingdom of León. The third quarter displays four red (gules) bars on a golden (oro) background, representing the Kingdom of Aragon. The fourth quarter showcases a golden chain in a cross, saltire, and orle formation on a red (gules) field, incorporating an emerald at its center, representing the Kingdom of Navarre.
At the base, an "enté en pointe" displays a naturalistic pomegranate, split open with red (gules) seeds, and detailed with green (sinople) leaves, signifying the Kingdom of Granada.
Supporters and Accoutrements
The design is flanked by two silver (plata) columns with golden (oro) bases and capitals, representing the Pillars of Hercules. These rest on waves of blue (azur) and silver (plata). Each column is surmounted by a crown – an imperial crown on the right (viewer’s left) and a royal crown on the left (viewer’s right). A red (gules) ribbon entwines the columns, bearing the golden (oro) inscription "PLUS ULTRA" ("Further Beyond"), emphasizing Spain's historical reach and ambition.
Color Palette
The artwork utilizes the officially designated colors with their corresponding CIELAB values: Red, Silver, Gold, Green, Blue, Purple, Black, and the specific color values associated with the pomegranate are presented to create the most accurate reproduction of the original design.
