USA Ultramarine Or Blue??

Hi to all can anyone identify this stamp for me.
Is it blue or Ultramarine??
All help greatfully received.
Horamkhet

to me blue

this one is ultramarine:

Horamkhet: assuming the color in your scan/my monitor is accurate, I agree it's blue.

shareminator: ultramarine, with a blue cancel ??

Nice stamps,
Kirk

Hi
Thanks for the information shareminator and KirkS

One day I will have all this accumulation sorted into countries, then I can really work on it

For the edification of collectors outside the US who find the Franklins and Washingtons a bit confusing would someone nail the Scott# for us?

Ultramarine = Across the sea,
it was imported into europe from Asia. (lapis lazuli)

Probably the colour that still gives me the most problems
identifying shades via Stanley Gibbons.

Natural Ultramarine was Gibbons style "dull ultramarine"

I now take ultramarine to be "deep blue"
according to Gibbons shareminators ultramarine
borders on bright blue / blue.
I guess it's all a matter of country and catalogue.

From a scanner not calibrated





wiki

does someone have a color chart like this for reds?

Dan,

thanks for the help

Rod:

What software generated your second chart -- the one with hex and RGB values?

Very interesting,
KirkS

It appears that the stamp in Horamkhet's scan has the secret mark which would make it either Scott #156 or 182 (soft paper).

Here is an identification resource:

Wiki, Kirk,

Use text string = ultramarine wiki

Oh wow. Thanks Rod.

Here's the entire blue spectrum

Right then.

List me in order of hiearchy,
duke Blue, Prussian Blue, Midnight Blue, and federal Blue
...Hehehehe

Oops, I am feeling blue just thinking about it.

Yeah. But I guess on a more serious note, the real issue is that (as far as I know), none of the major Catalogs use "standard" color palettes, hex, RGB, Pantone, etc.

So we're left to wonder, or buy a SG Color Guide

Tomiseksj: thanks for that link. I was at that site some time back but did not save the link. I have done so. Ironically, I started a thread this morning about saving and managing links.
