Hi all.
Here is a little article about my 7xgreat grandfather in the direct male line Carsten Dock and his coat of arms: https://www.dropbox.com/s/dyaqolzzoxvn59f/carsten.pdf

I wish I could read Swedish! Can anyone here help me learn if the article mentions any colors, metals or charges? Thanks!

I presume that Swedish, like German, uses normal colour names in heraldry. My pre-war Swedish dictionary translates
black, blue, gold, green, purple, red, silver, white, yellow
into
svart, blå, guld, grön, purpur, röd, silver, vit, gul.
I can find 'svart' in the next to last line, but that is about a trunk with black iron fittings. Otherwise, I can't see any colours, but you might have better luck.
