Diapering  
   
 
   
Diapering: Heraldic term  referring to the field
or a charge being decorated with damask or
arabesque or knotwork in a lighter or darker
shade of the tincture it is on. Thus it gives
ornamentation without being a part of device.

with light gold on dark gold and the chief is
diapered with light green on dark green.
