Another Set Of Eyes On These Germans

I'm trying to id these in the Scott Catalog but I can't make the colors jive.

Germany 184 is as close as I can get with this one, but I don't see the green. It looks dark blue to my eye.


And this is clearly orange. Again the closest I see is Germany 186 "red"



Now that I see the scan of #2, it looks much more red than in person. I'm willing to accept that it's red unless there's an option for orange I'm not seeing...

Red on this issue is a bright color red. Yours actually looks redder than my copies. #184 does look a little bluish, but the violet is also looks redder. This make me think that your scanner/my monitor, make it look redder, hence bluer. The green on this issue is a very dark green, than may look like blue. I'm not an expert on these (hell, I'm not an expert on anything ), but I'm not aware of any listed shades.

Thanks danko. On a side note, it uncanny how that red stamp is undeniably orange in person.

Scott 184 and 186. Scott's colors on these aren't terribly accurate. Michel calls these black-bluish-green or blackish-gray-green, and orange-red.

Thanks PostmasterGS. I feel better about it now. :)
