Throughout most of [[SCA]] [[period]], the only gouttes are ''Goutte de Sang''. Several [[Renaissance]] [[heraldic]] treatises state that [[red]] is the only [[colour]] that gouttes come in. John Guillim's ''A Display of Heraldry'' in 1610 mentions a few goutte variations:
* "Gutte de sang"
* "Gutte de larmes"
* "Gutte de Eau"
* "Gutte de Poix"
* "Gutte de Or"

In the SCA, you can use a specialized goutte name for any colour.

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.
