@mohamedel,

You will find many discussions about the identification of colour hues (shades as most collectors call them). Both your camera and the other person's screen can change the perception of the colour.

Showing the stamps together helps for relative identifications, but exact identification will remain impossible. Furthermore, British and American catalogues do not always recognise the same colours. Sometimes they even use different names. European catalogues are in other languages and not all colours that appear obvious are so obvious in translation. So also say which catalogue you use.

That makes perfect sense to me, considering you are referring to French stamps and are from a country with strong French connections.

The majority of people on this site is from the USA or Canada. They use Scott. Scott is very uncommonly used in Europe and by non-American collectors of those areas. The Australians appear a bit split between Scott and Stanley Gibbons.

The use of catalogues, still, depends much on where someone lives. French people, people from French colonies and southwest Europeans tend to use Yvert & Tellier. Most of continental Europe outside France and southwest Europe use Michel. The British and Irish and people from English colonies tend to use Stanley Gibbons.

It, always, is a good idea to quote the catalogue publisher. Often I see people ask a question about European stamps referring to a Scott catalogue number without mentioning that for the stamp or watermark the more specialised collectors of European countries and colonies or protectorates do not use.
