In heraldry, carnation is a tincture, the name for skin colour, more exactly the colour of pale or European human skin (i.e., pale pinkish orange). It is rare in coats of arms in Anglophone countries but quite frequent on the European continent, in France in particular, derived from widespread use in German heraldry.
