Option 1 - change the colors of the border squares

"Per bend argent and sable, a lion counterchanged langued and armed gules and charged on the shoulder with an ermine spot argent within a bordure denticulada counterchanged gules and argent."

• This makes the border squares red and white instead of black and white. (Can substitute blue, purple or green for the red).
• Could also substitute yellow for white - "bordure compony/denticulada <color> and Or".
