Red Brown Or Brown Red

Is the stamp on the left the Red brown or the Brown red.



Thank you

I'm using the SG stamp colour key.

The left stamp would be red-brown.

In the SG key:

-- red-brown is more brown than red
-- brown-red is more red than brown

Of course, I'm really bad with colors...

Michel catalogs three major color variations of the unoverprinted:

Dark carmine-red to red-carmine
Brown red
Carmine brown

I suspect you have a dirty carmine brown and a carmine red.

And three major color variations of the overprinted:

Bright brown carmine to brownish carmine
Brown red
Carmine brown

I suspect your overprint is either the brown carmine or carmine brown.

I'll be reunited with my Michel color guide on Monday, and can give you a more definite answer then.

Thank you so much for your help .
