The Gibbons online catalogue describes this stamp as 'blue & ultramarine.' This is a mistake on both counts, right?

This one is definitely black and blue-green:

Thanks, 22crows. I twigged that there had to have been a second issue. According to this resource for French colonial stamps which I just discovered, it was reissued in 1922.

http://www.timbres-colonies-de-france.fr

Now that I've discovered this website, I will be able to start picking through all my French colonial stamps, which I've been avoiding (up until today!) It's highly recommended.
