A Carmine shade.

I believe that what you have posted is a Scan, but, if not, and much better picture than what you have posted before. Still out of focus ... but better.

Thank you for the response. This is the first time I'm posting this stamp and it's a photograph, not a scan. The previous one I posted was stamp #220. So it's carmine. Thanks again.

I believe the upper right leans toward "carmine rose" shade.

Different monitors display colors differently so trying to judge true color from a scan or (worse) a photo is an exercise in futility. The best way to know is to have someone knowledgeable examine the actual stamp and compare it to known color samples.

Thank you for the comments; I know it's very difficult to assess color this way, which is why I included a few other stamps—maybe comparing them will give a better insight. The one in the top left should be type I carmine or deep carmine, but in that image, compared to the others, it looks far from it. Thanks again, best regards.
