As shown in the photos, it's clearly the same blue green found on the Victoria & KEVII 1/2d, and not a mere "dp green" found on the sg238. Is the 238 also know to have a "dp blue green" variety?
The paper is also quite opaque. I normally have no problem spotting the wms on GB, but for this one I can't even see it when held to the light.

For reference, the second photo shows #235 and #236 underneath, and #224 on the right which is bluish green on chalk surfaced paper.

It is a very deep green within the SG 238 shade band. Not even close to the Jubilee one.

Thanks as always NSK. Yeah I shouldn't have included the Jubilees. Their shades don't come close to the complexity found in the KE series.

But man, I've been comparing this with my ½d's, and the color (rather than the shade) looks way closer to the blue/green variants than any kind of deep green shade I could possibly imagine.

At this point, I don't see how this shade variant "very deep green" couldn't also fit into the blue/green category.

It is not a bluis-green shade at all. You are comparing the deep green colour to the yellowish green colour and concluding it must be bluish green. It, in fact, is truly green. It is very different from the bluish green of the 1/2 d. that is much more bluish.

Here are two DLR greens
