I am still learning to identify these old stamps using stampsmarter.com. I'm I close on this one? To me it seems grey and not lilac-grey. Thank you for your input.

Gray or faded lilac gray or something else--the truth is that colors and shades are very difficult to judge on the basis of scanned images. To my eye this has traces of a purplish tint.

Yes I would say a 78b (gray). Wide range of colors on these 24c types. Below is my 70 red lilac (perhaps 70a brown lilac?) and 78b
