In heraldry, tenné (/ˈtɛni/; sometimes termed tenny or tawny) is a "stain", or non-standard tincture, of orange (in English blazonry), light brown (in French heraldry) or orange-tawny (in continental heraldry) colour.
Tenné, however, is not to be confused with brunâtre ("brownish") of French and German blazons.
- Difference between tenné & brunâtre
Tenné is used for the depiction of leather colour, while the much darker brunâtre is used for the depiction of bear hide colour.
