And for English speaker (of Heraldry), you were correct.
Gueules (fr) = Gules (en) = red
Sinople (fr) = Vert (en) = green
As far as heraldic is concerned, the name is about the concept (there is
no right srgb values, and no wrong either as long as it can be recognised)
That's totally different of vexillology (about flags), where each colour
in a flag is specific.
If you take the "blue" of France, Luxembourg, Netherlands, it is NOT the
same.
And they are also painful about the ratio of partition (and globally).
(including the usage of flags at sea or in land)
Compare the 10:19 of USA's flag (nearly twice as long as high) to the
ratio of Switzerland (1:1 a square!)
Inland France is equal strips, on 2:3 ratio.
But navy of France use 30:33:37 proportions.
