Beauty is in the eye by Ralphael1
Anyone know the official color designations of the 2010 Machins? Someone once said "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder." This stamp accumulator says; "Color is in the eye of the beholder." Machins are a good example of this. It seems many people, dealers, catalogers have different views. Ralph

I don't suppose there is a solution for...
