Scott 37B - Is There A Colour Chart.

Hi
Cant remember where I got this picture.
Is there a colour chart out there for Scott 37's, especially Indian/red stamps...?

Robert

I found this one from somewhere a long time ago.

Thanks for the chart lithograving
Still leery this guy has what he says he has,,???

As said before, color monitors do not offer a good comparison. To me, it looks slightly oxidized, but the second one appears to be "redder".

In my opinion...
Orange stamps are susceptible to sulphurization, plus trusting an images to ID a stamp color is a crap shot (at best). Unless this person has a large reference collection and years of color study/experince, I would be dubious.

Correct Don and Partime
That's why I asked where some one could get a good colour chart for those stamps I look at..

colorpix.com ... offers HEX codes at mouse pointer

Thanks machin1

I do have lots of colour identification software.

My 1979 Stanley Gibbons Stamp Colour Key's 'Indian Red' is far from the two samples you are showing Robert.
Of course, my computer screen may not be showing true colours.
On my own screen, I see that the posted colours are lighter than the actual Key's colours.

Most of the listings of 37b's on ebay are misidentified, including the two in the OP. Adding scans of a Munsell chip here is confusing as the colour will always be "off". I guess there is some value seeing shades beside each other, just don't hold your stamp to a monitor hoping to colour match.

The 37b is sharply printed, on a specific paper, and the shade has a slight bluish cast not seen on other 37s. Experience will be your best teacher.

This is my copy of 37d copper or Indian red, perf. 12.5. It is a certified copy and I picked it up for 15c many years ago from an APS circuit book. It is dated MA 3, '70.




As said before color will vary depending on your operating system and monitor but this might give you an idea of what the color should look like.

Thanks guys.

Ahhhh Mike...The ERD is Jan. 17, 1870 as per Unitrade...You identify yours as pretty close to the ERD...Good find...Now I have t go through all mine again....Never stops, doesn't it..haha..??

Thank you to all who replied; very, very helpfu!

I would like to take advantage of this Topic to show my shades of sc#37, it is a very low representative sample and there is also the problem of monitors, but you can see a scale in the tone...I do not want nor can I say that 37b is present among my copies, Maybe yes, maybe not (maybe one day I can compare them in person with an authentic 37b or agree with an expert who can discern it), since in my opinion, as can be seen from the palettes, color keys and the stamp itself certificate shown in the previous posts, the differences are notable between them, leaving color 37b in a limbo for true experts who know the stamp very well.

Is there color charts for the other Scott numbers 35 thru 45??
