UPU Colors
In 1898, the UPU required that the postage stamps representing typical
Union rates be printed in blue for letters, red for postcards, green for printed matter. In 1898, the US rates were 5, 2,and 1 cents respectively. In 1925, the card rate was raised to 3 cents. In 1932, the printed matter rate was raised to 1.5 cents, yet the 1 and 2 cent stamps were maintained in green and red through the 1952 end of the color rule and beyond. Does anyone know (presumably from something published between 1925 and the present) the reason why the US did not change colors when the rates were changed.?
