The cloud feh is a special form of furry feh in heraldry . It's a tincture .

A figure formed from several broad clouds is depicted in the heraldic shield or field . The free areas in each row inevitably result in a cloud in a different tincture. The pattern is repeated in the next row. A maximum of two tinctures are used in the row. The tinctures blue and white are primarily used, as they are understood as a variety of the Eisenhütlein. With the simple Wolkenfeh the direction of the colored clouds is directed towards the head of the shield .

This malform has deviations. Thus Sturzwolkenfeh , Wolkengegenfeh , Wechselwolkenfeh and Wolkenpfahlfeh Another common tinctures. The Doppelwolkenfeh is also a variant.
