As this is a field division, then no, you are not violating any of the
standard rules of healdry concerning color on color.  Obviously, any
charged placed upon this field would need to be either argent or or (white
or yellow) to be correct.  Placing 'x' object counterchanged would then
voloate the color on color rule.
