Right, as we (The Duchy) havent really got a flag that we actually use i'll open up a debate about it with these two being the main possiblities: The current flag: ripped off straight from the actual region of Gascony in France, we have the old flag:  The other one: painstakingly designed by myself just now we have a possible new flag:  It's a little unconventional i know.... I'm open to other ideas too. If we dont use the "other one" as Duchy flag i'll probably use it as my Ducal banner just because the ermine was such a pain to colour in  |

Interesting designs. I honestly opt for the first. Only because ermine is supposed to mimic the animal - and there aren't any red and blue ermine in nature. If I may suggest an alternative - three stripes forming the cross, red, blue, green, over normal black and white ermine. |

Screw nature, we can paint the little bloody things (if Ryan wanted to make his design that'd be lovely though ) |

We could just say it's Bosworthian ermine which represents mythical creatures..hmm...

That crossed my mind as well.
The new story I'm doing incorporates mythical creatures, albeit only one kind, and not magical.

You could use a natural, environmental condition to create the prerequisite for ermine developing brightly-colored coats.
Say, perhaps, that the traditional black and white ermine evolved new coloration's, due to conditions differing from their usual habitat in which black and white colors allowed them to blend with the surroundings. The predominant species of flora could have red and blue flowers. Thus, to blend with the surroundings, Gascon ermine evolved to have red and blue coats.
