I always thought blood red was a color no matter what animal it came from. A very good example why I never do shades. Then there are the changelings and/or faders. Ralphael, the OLD one |

Malcolm Hmmm, I'll take it as "interesting" The nomenclature is still reference based, so, when have you ever seen "pink" blood? |

looks like it could be a reference to the "Passenger pigeon" and the plumage around the throat (similar to the mourning dove) The ornithologists note this colour as "wine red" http://www.wbu.com/chipperwoods/photos/passpigeon.htm It would be interesting to understand how the stamp became baptised so. - and Pigeon Blood Pink refers to a colour reminiscent of the plumage of the bird rather than the colour of it's blood??Obscure but logical?

We are not sure who first noticed this, but it costs us a fortune in pigeons, and we have to work very quickly when sorting rubies, before the colour of the blood darkens and we have to kill another pigeon. Fortunately, there is a particularly good supply of pigeons in Blackpool!
