Please help, I am a little at loss with identifying the various shades of these 7 A25 Stamps.



If anyone could assist with all seven stamps, I appreciate it greatly.

We all are to some extent. These inks were hand mixed by daylight or lamplight up to 156 years ago. The stamps have been used, sent through the postal system, but where saved, soaked of the cover, and stored in who knows how many collections by now..?
Add the fact I'm not seeing the same color that you are. Not only because of the difference in the way we all perceive color, but our scanners, computers, and monitors all display color slightly differently.
With all of that said, I can only tell you that there a lot of shades but others here know there shade much better and can tell you what they think the shades are.

My take:
#1 pass - it just looks badly faded to me
#2 pass
#3 deep rose
#4 rose red
#5 & #6 in the range of typical rose shades, perhaps faded somewhat
#7 dull red
