Unitrade lists a shade of this as yellow brown, when in fact it is probably just plain old brown without the red. Some person looked at the shade and thought: "this looks really yellowish". Compared to the red brown, they would be right, but the problem is nobody bothered to compare it to an actual yellow brown stamp like the 6c jubilee, or 6c maple leaf etc. if they had, they would have realized that it is not yellow at all. So they name colours on a relative appearance basis, rather than an absolute one.<br /><br />I'm really surprised to hear that you have seen this stamp in olive brown. I have never seen that shade on C5 and would love to see it.Canada's Stamp Dealerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14048248796843456571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6430416027058547451.post-24895769523739165242016-06-09T02:03:38.042-07:002016-06-09T02:03:38.042-07:00Really Great and in depth summation of the 1927-19...Really Great and in depth summation of the 1927-1952 area, and I couldn't agree more, especially with the King George VI Mufti issues! <br /><br />Which brings me to an issue concerning my favourite Canada Stamp...namely C5 (Daedalus in flight).<br /><br /> The basic stamp itself is indeed listed as Red Brown, but I have a veritable plethora of shades of it in fact such as Dark Brown, Chocolate Brown, Brown, even Olive Brown, and within these, there exist shade variants such as Deep, Dark, Dull, and Bright, and so forth.<br /><br /> The only "Shade" Unitrade has listed other than Red Brown however is Yellow Brown (Sometimes referred to as the "Blonde Flyer")...and that brings me to another issue with C5.<br /><br /> What's this business with Yellow Brown being listed in Unitrade at all? This colour just plain does NOT exist with this stamp, or at least in the way that say Canada 27a Large Queen Victoria, 39 Small Queen Victoria, 55 Diamond Jubilee Issue, 108b King George V Admiral Issue, 118b King George V Admiral Issue, 129ii Perf. 8 Horizontal Coil of King George V Admiral Issue, or USA 205, 209 in Yellow Brown,234 Columbian in Yellow Brown,299 Pan-American Exposition,303 in Yellow Brown,503 in Yellow Brown,553 Warren G. Harding, 556 Martha Washington, 576 Warren G. Harding, 585 Martha Washington, 601 Martha Washington, 605 Warren G. Harding, 631 Warren G. Harding, 633 Warren G. Harding, 636 Martha Washington, etc. all do. <br /><br />I've seen literally thousands of these both Mint and Used, and yet...No Yellow Brown!<br /><br />I've even bought 2 online from a reputable Stamp Dealer whom I know well, and he says they're Yellow Brown, but again, not the Yellow Brown that I'm used to seeing!<br /><br /> What is the reasoning behind this Yellow Brown shade in Unitrade nonsense?<br /><br />Does anyone else know what I'm talking about here?<br /><br />Dr. Eustaquio Kirby, D.P.T.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6430416027058547451.post-44403696055807071332016-05-28T08:55:32.184-07:002016-05-28T08:55:32.184-07:00Thanks Gene, I am really looking forward to writin...Thanks Gene, I am really looking forward to writing about my findings on here, as there is just so much to interest collectors - for every period of Canadian philately. I share your sentiment about the Mufti Low values and I have found that even the War Issue and the Postes-Postage issue has begun to grow on me.

Does seem odd that the Late George V/George VI era has been rather neglected, considering how popular it has become in other areas of the Commonwealth. And the fact that especially the definitive issues of the 1930s are some of the most gorgeous stamps Canada has ever produced should make it an area ripe for study among collectors (I esp am fond of the Mufti issue low values, the image of George VI is just so iconic!)Gene/DJCMHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02289801853947188368noreply@blogger.com
