Componé, compony or gobony, is a term use in heraldry. A bordure compone is that formed or composed of a row of square or rectangular parts or panes of two tinctures (what are described in common parlance as "colours," though this term has a different meaning in heraldry); as in the figure (sometimes compony-like arrangements, such as in the arms of His Excellency Duke Don Diego de Vargas Machuca, Head of the Ducal House de Vargas Machuca, are not so described in blazon). Or see the arms of Christ's College and St John's College in Cambridge which both have a bordure compony argent and azure (white and blue). This perhaps needs to be distinguished from similarly-appearing gyronny arrangements such as the bordered gyronny of ten in the arms of the 108th Aviation Regiment of the United States Army - though in general terms this is something of a distinction without an awful lot of difference.
