Washington 3c 1860-S 12 Perf - How To Determine The Color?

I have a Washington 3c stamp from the 1860s. From my reading of the perforation gauge, this is 12 perf. I am partially color blind, and I can match colors. But, I can't always identify colors by themselves. Picture below. I have done my best with lighting, etc. Open to suggestions there. I did find a great thread on this stamp that had a number of pictures but not all of the stamps were labeled as to what color they were. So, maybe, someone could post pictures with a label as to the color? then, we (color blind or inexperienced collectors) can try to "color match" the images? a color guide if you will.

For me, this is now my oldest stamp. I was pumped to discover it in an album I purchased at an estate sale. Now, I am just trying to properly identify it.
Any and all suggestions on this are welcome.
thanks

While browsing other posts in the forum, I did find the link below. I am reviewing it now. Still a challenge for the color challenged collector.

This looks like a Scott #65, since I don't see a grill - but just a quick look reveals that it is heavily toned and has shifted the color toward the yellow-orange spectrum. I would suggest a careful soaking to see if any of that can be improved without damaging.

This stamp is notorious for changelings and subtle differences in the original ink used which makes it a tough one. I sent a few in to Bill Weiss back in the day and I hit the jackpot (unfortuneatly, due to condition there wasn't much in the pot, but anyhow...)

He sent them all back with a helpful post-it attached:



The upper-left one turned out to be a #64!






Hope that helps a little,

I appreciate your enthusiasm, although quite honestly, most collectors including myself would identify this as a Scott 65, move on, and not worry about shades. Particularly so when one has only an example or two AND when dealing with used stamps, which often have been poorly treated/stored over the years. Beyond that, Mike McClung published a detailed study of this stamp in "The Specialist" about 20-25 years ago identiying dozens of shades and sub-shades going waaaay beyond the Scott catalog.
As an aside, I have a stamp-collecting friend who is color blind and he found his niche with the single-color transportation coils and does not bother with shades.
