In heraldry a goutte is a charge in the shape of a drop of liquid. As with the roundel, the name of the goutte changes depending on the tincture. Note that if there is a semé of gouttes, instead of saying semé of gouttes d'eau, we would say either goutte d'eau or goutty d'eau.
| Tincture | Name | Meaning | Image |
| Or | Goutte d'Or | Drops of Gold |  |
| Argent | Goutte d'eau | Water Drops |  |
| Azure | Goutte des Larmes | Tear Drops |  |
| Gules | Goutte de Sang | Drops of Blood |  |
| Sable | Goutte de poix | Drops of Tar |  |
| Vert | Goutte de Huile | Drops of (Olive) Oil |  |
| Purpure | Goutte de Vin | Drops of Wine |  |
