Well, let's see.
1) Yes, the shade of "or" on the draft emblazon does seem rather creamy, doesn't it? It is, however, the same shade as on the arms of the Kingdom of Denmark, which the petitioner (with the field and the lion azure and Guelph cross) wished to evoke. If it's okay with the petitioner, though, I might "gold" up the field a bit more on the actual emblazon.
2) The King (as friggin' usual) is right. I sure had thought that a gore was an ordinary and not a charge. Well, darn. So yes, his blazon is indeed more correct than mine (sigh).
3) I had the heart the size it is thinking (temporarily) that the blazon would call for two hearts in base (one being completely obscured by the gore), then I went with "in sinister base" so yeah, the heart should be larger.
4) And regarding the colour of the heart, yes, it should match the red of the gore, and will in the final version. I looked at it that way, though, and it needed more work than I had time to give it, so I undid it and went (for the draft) with what we see.
