Unlikely, I'm afraid

Thanks Geoh.

Not France, but these Finnish stamps show the colors pretty well:

Hello
the example is a prussian blue

And a horrible one, even though Yvert et Tellier want €600 for it.

yes it's true, I saw the ad on their site

Here is the same stamp as TANO has pictured ,it is not the Prussian Blue .

Various shades of this stamp none are Prussian Blue .

Colour are a pain, I just group them together
Closer to blue, closer to grey and blush grey are the three I go with.

" Color's are a pain " My collection would give you a heart attack if looked thru it .

could only imagine!
I've seen a picture of your wall :)

JUST FELLA --- I started saving and mounting shades and differences in color back in 1967-1969 . My guess is that those fellow club members who specialised in Germany were the ones who told me the importance of saving the shades back then .

I am guessing were I picked that up . Years later when the Scott Specialised Catalog came out I was already ahead of the game . Over the years I continued with this ,no I don't have over 100 different foreign catalogs to confirm all the shades I have mounted . I leave that to be determined by the next collector who purchases my collection weather those shades are valid .


I will tell you ,100 years before I started the shade stuff , that Philpp Von Ferrary was doing it in his collection, so I feel i'am in good company.

It's a good idea!
I'm just not sure how I would determine what's a shade with so many factors to consider.
If it's a big difference, I'll set it off from the rest but still keep them all together.

the example of the #84 posted above…
Maury shows the bleu de prusse looking way different then the one being sold.

Agree with you ,the shade looks like the last stamp in the row I posted , I wouldn't trust a cert. with that picture above .........I am going into town later and get the color to make my own prussian blue and I will post it here ......fun and games .

Maybe it's just the images but I don't see the similarities
