The stamp you have is what is known as a changeling, it may be a result of exposure to light or chemicals. The stamp on the left is the correct colour.
As with most early Australian/State/Colonial issues, there are plenty of interesting shades to collect on this stamp - they certainly aren't restricted to the catalogue listings.
Keep it - you will find more of that shade as your collection builds.
