Ok so it's
*Argent, a chevron nebuly azure between two popinjays respectant and an oak
tree eradicated and fructed proper.*
Thanks for the input. Sorry, I didn't realise the file was so big. I'll
shrink them in future! Artwork was the client's which I forwarded; it looks
kind of turquoisey to me too. When I draw it for submission I'll be using
the approved palette and so should avoid such uncertainties. I have this
week off so will re-check tomorrow. I seem to have missed a few things;
probably I wasn't using enough of the indices.
