Here is the problem, your image was color adjusted by the scanner as shown by the fact the background paper is grey, not black. See how that changes the colors as seen in your two posts.
So far I will say no stamp on the out edge is one of the colors you are asking about.
Yes. I put the stamps face down on the glass and the black construction paper on top of them. Close the lid. The scanner simply doesn't show the color range and the stamps just don't seem that bright. The first two images are from my camera and the shade differences are more accurate based on what I see with my own eyes.
I have a Canon Pixma MX472 printer/scanner, which I know isn't great. I used the photo source scan for that last image, even though stamps are not photos. When I use the document scan, the background is much more black. I think I'm using all default settings.
I'm reviewing all the images now from my desktop computer rather than my phone. The 3rd image (the photo scan) seems the most realistic, but that 1st image still seems to show the best color variance even though the image seems a bit darker that it should be. The 2nd stamp in the 2nd row is really quite different than the rest.
