context_page_description: In heraldry, tenné is a "stain", or non-standard tincture, of orange, light brown or orange-tawny colour.
  Tenné, however, is not to be confused with Brunâtre of French and German blazons.
  Tenné is used for the depiction of leather color, while the much darker Brunâtre is used for the depiction of bear hide colour.
context_section_description: Perhaps as a symptom of the theoretical nature of heraldic stains, the hatchings assigned to these have been inconsistent among sources. The hatching for tenné has been given variously as a combination of vertical lines (as gules) and dexter to sinister lines (as vert), or as a combination of horizontal lines (as azure) and sinister to dexter lines (as purpure), (and other combinations may be found in other sources) though both these sources provide the same hatching of alternating vertical dots and dashes for "orange".
