Wow, what an eye opener, so to speak. So many of the colors in the strips looked exactly the same that I didn't even bother to try the test! Is there a score of less than zero?

thank you everybody again, and also hy-brasil for your detailed answer. I made some adjustments for me while printing my own version of those guide examples, matching up with my many 2c stamps. this works for me now. Yes, White is another good book hard to get - but my feeling from all examples shown mainly here at SCF is, that the Scott/Morris guide could be closer to the real stamps while the White books always seem - in my opinion - too much blue color in each scan. Only question I would perhaps still have is the thing about nomenclature, so if the two issues have the "same" carmine - how is White here, is a 1890 2c carmine similar to the 1894 (and following) carmine or also quite different as in the links?

In real life it is the same carmine, even for 2c Washingtons.

I scanned the relevant sections of R.H. White's Encyclopedia color plates and text, perhaps they will be of some help.

About your score: A lower score is better, with ZERO being a perfect score. The circle graph displays the regions of the color spectrum where your hue discrimination is low.

Aced it. I found it helped to enlarge the screen image. First go at it I had a 4.

thank you littleriverphil, yes this helped a lot, as I was missing the rose color and also the carmine rose in my own "research".
