A Special Book for Identifying Complicated Stamp Colors
Stamp collectors face a major challenge in identifying a stamp's color and shade. What is "lake" or "pigeon blood pink?" The Scott Specialized Color Guides for US Stamps will help you meet this challenge.
Author Richard M. Morris, along with experts on the stamps presented in this work, have matched the colors of actual stamps with color chips from the MunsellTM Book of Colors, a definitive work in the study of color used worldwide in industry, art and science.
Actual color chips are affixed to the guides in this book so you can lay your stamp next to the chip and determine which color matches your stamp. A special tool is included to allow you to focus solely on the color without being distracted by the design.
Included in the package are guides for the 3 cent Washington of 1851-57 (Scott 10 and 11), 3 cent Washington of 1861-68 (Scott 64 and 65), 2 cent Washington of 1890 (Scott 219D and 220) and 2 cent Washington of 1895-1903 (Scott 267 and 279B). The colors and shades of these stamps have baffled collectors for years, but now you can identify them with ease.
