Shown are six classic 1c Postage Dues scanned from lightest to darkest and I would be most thankful for help in assigning (if possible) Scott colors to these stamps from this scan:

As I'm sure you are aware, no two computer systems will display color exactly the same, and some of them look to be affected by storage conditions, 1st one looks faded, last one looks stained.
It would probably be more accurate to compare them to stamps in your collection.
The listed colors are;
Vermillion...Scott U. S. 178 & 183 are vermillion
pale vermillion
deep claret
claret Scott U.S. 271 is claret brown
lake Scott U. S. 219D & 282

All that said,
1 pale vermillion
2 vermillion
3 Did this bleed (aniline ink) when soaked?
4 deep claret
5 maybe lake
Hope that helps.
