Right -Claret Lake - Nice color for a Bordeaux. Now, in saying that, This will start another 8-page stamp post was over wines. and color comparison to stamps. I stuck my big foot in it again! :)
If you want to do a side-by-side, then the stamps literally need to be side-by-side in the same scanner at the same time and included in the same "shot." Taking images off ebay from different scanners operating independently proves nothing except that different hardware and software produces different results.
"Claret brown" is mostly brown with some claret in it. "Brown claret" is mostly claret with some brown in it. Simple "claret" is free of brown.
The OP scan on my monitor has less brown influence in it than it should for claret brown, so I am inclined to call it claret. Perhaps compare it to the postage dues for that year?

Now I'm looking closer and I don't think I see any brown in it either. It's too light to be Lake. So I too am inclined to believe it is Claret. That would mean it is the Claret version of U.S. Scott 282.
