  Purely off the top of my head, I wouldn't apply it to lozengy & 
 chequey.  The color/metal distinction is for contrast.  You would 
 have to pick your colors very carefully for someone more than 10 
 feet away to be able to tell that the field was lozengy.  If you 
 always had control over the actual shade used in depicting it, 
 then you could have lozengy of, say, purpure and azure that would 
 be definitely purpure and azure and lozengy from a distance.  
 Most heraldry isn't set up that way (that you can select the actual 
 shade of color used).......
