All,

I'm partially color blind, and my "Color Helper" (wife) passed away in August. I have several cut squares that I'm trying to figure out the Scott number on. Nothing of great value, but HELP! I can't tell the shades of the paper!

Thanks,

John

Paper shades are tricky from a scan but they appear to be:

white white or oriental buff white manila (probably) oriental buff
white white white white (probably) manila
white white blue

Color is (usually) consistent within any series. Oriental buff is somewhat pink. Manila is a type of paper and not a color but is treated as a color.
The last item is brown red on blue.

Good luck.

I like Bill's take, but offer a couple other possibilities:

Row 1, #'s 2 and 5 I would go with amber.

Thanks! It's all varying shades of gray to me! lol But, on the other hand, I can pick out folks wearing cammo or a Gilley suit no problem! lol

Thanks,

John
