What's in a name?

Cataloguing a US "Washington"
(Scott A25 wove paper)

It could be Pink, Rose, Dull Red, Lake, Scarlet, or....wait for it.

"Pigeon blood pink" ?
now there's a colour I'm not totally au-fait with

Any other "colours" worth mentioning in Scott?

Yep, that is it Rod.I can't fathom it either.
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.

I wonder if "Blood Pink" is a species of pigeon - 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?

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

I wonder if "Blood Pink" is a species of pigeon

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"

It would be interesting to understand
how the stamp became baptised so.

Pigeon's Blood
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pigeons' Blood Rubies

The best and most valuable colour for rubies is often said to be
the colour of freshly killed young pigeon's blood. 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! Chards (gem dealers)

Here is a cabochon of pigeon blood agate, also known as cornelian,
from Utah.

We are not sure who first noticed this,
but it costs us a fortune in pigeons,

It cost the Americans more,
the world's most numerous bird
is now extinct.
I thought the Bison had it tough
