It's the usual coloration when the lion is gules (red).

In theory it is a 'Royal' lion, but like all these thing that have grown up over hundreds of years, nobody knows for sure. When blazoning the shield (describing), we say 'armed and langued', meaning clawed and tongued. They are normally both the same colour. If you notice the first shield has a red field, so red claws would not be seen. So they made them blue. There could be a very complicated explanation, but this is the simplest and it works.

I need to learn more about the battle, but, looking at the "K" I wonder if the Scottish troops broke through the English middle to win the battle?
