I think the term 'Indian red' must confuse a few non-native speakers of English too. One Chinese seller listed a stamp as the 'Indian red' variety - at the higher price of course - but the problem was, his stamp was actually red! |

I believe there is no Indian here, at least I don't see one.   I always thought these two below were Indian or Copper red but I was informed that the colour is due to oxidation.  |

I believe that a color is only valid for the issuing entity. I would assume that the colors designation might be pretty consistent within the British empire. Bu the color designation of U.S. (Scott) to British empire (Gibbons) don't seem to be even remotely similar. Of course, the Scott color designations are not consistent with true color descriptors. |

I would be nice if all the major catalogues including SG, Scott, Michel etc would stick to the same colour designations.
A Universal colour guide is what we need. |

Well some people have problems driving no matter on which side
the steering wheel is located.
Did you ever drive in Toronto Bee See? |

Try Crete sometime...
It would be about blind corners and two lanes and the guy who
zooms around you on the corner and it is totally blind.
Ah yes. A glass of Ouzo please. Thanks.
But I won't trade the experiences for anything.
Universal color charts?
Right after my all country, all encompassing software processing please. Thanks.

Well the driving here in Toronto isn't probable as bad as you experienced in Crete Barb but we do have a lot of cretins here. |
