Heraldry

'Sinople', also called 'vert', is a green or dark green color, usually in the context of heraldry. In engravings, sinople is represented by diagonal lines from the field or figure's top right to bottom left (that is, from the observer's left to right). Today, in English-language heraldry, ''vert'' is usually used to mean green.

Mineralogy

Sinople (or 'sinopite') is also a clay or quartz containing iron oxides, with a "blood-red or brownish red color, sometimes with a tinge of yellow" (Webster's Dictionary). It was used by medieval muralists to make the red pigment 'sinopia'.

Block ciphers

Sinople is also symmetric block cipher.

Etymology

The word comes from the Black Sea city of Sinop (historically ''Sinope'') in modern-day Turkey, where the clay had a red-ochre color.
