I quote from the wiki's article on bastards first "A very common custom in Westeros is for bastards to use the heraldry of their noble-born parent's House but with the colors inverted (which is known as "breaking" the design scheme)."

Given that the use of house sigils on character articles is primarily used to indicate relation to said house, I conclude we should make the colour inverted house shield standard for bastard character articles. Open to feedback and discussion however, would love to hear a wider forum!
