Stampman, your pictures are backlit? That makes it very hard if not impossible to see the true colors. Can you scan these all in one operation?

None of these has remotely enough orange in them to be vermilion.

Vermilion actually runs from orange red to red orange depending on the particular stamp and which bank note company printed it.

It is unfortunate Scott's terminology that the VERMILION of the 2 cent banknote stamp SC 183 does not look anything like the VERMILION of the postage dues J29/J30.
