I have some that are orange, too. Looked up 111 in Scott's, and although it lists vermillion, it looks orange there too.

I have 2017 Scotts and pic looks much redder, but, as you have one too, i'll just take this as a "nothing to see here, move along" situation!  |

If you want to get into that level of detail, put Scott (even the Scott Classic) back on the shelf and look in Stanley Gibbons Great Britain Specialised Stamp Catalogue Volume 1: Queen Victoria.
Here, you will find the following color shades listed:
deep vermilion
vermilion
orange vermilion
pale vermilion
Keep in mind that color shade identification can be really tricky on used stamps, especially ones that have been soaked off cover. Of course, to me, color shade identification is hard even with mint stamps.

There are 2 main varieties of this issue with their own cat. #; Vermillion which would be in a more reddish tone and an Orange-Vermillion which is probably yours
Both are found equally.

Scott# 118 5 penny lilac and blue there is a Type 1 and Type 2 (SG refers to them as Plate 1 and Plate 2 Plate 1 square dots to the right of "d" (in the blue value tablet). Plate 2 Thin vertical lines to the right of "d" (which I take to mean a 'dashed" line)(?) SG also mentions typical damage to tablet which looks like no dots or line to the right of the "d" as well as missing horizontal lines below the "5" Based on CV's (both in 1963 and 2017) Plate/Type 2 is more common I'm not sure what to think... Likely all Plate 2's, but I'm hoping someone here has more expertise  Perfin is I. F. O.     |

 The details for the 5d with plates used etc, etc Note also on the die 1 stamps that the base of the figure 5 is closer to the base of the value tablet ... Hope this helps a little ... |

When scanning, restrict the area you need to see to reduce scanned image file size.

Any suggestions which "Tome" to use for the Jubilee Issues as far as color varieties? I have Scott Classic Specialized, which is pretty much useless (IMHO). I'm setting up my pages for the Jubilee series and.... i have SG specialized Queen Victoria which lists the various colors, but refers to them by SG # (x)... and then there are the Types I have SG Specialized Great Britain which offers some distinction, but only on some of the colors I'm not finding much else For now I'm using the SG # followed by a (1, 2 3 etc.,) Is there a more accepted ( or less confusing?) methodology? here's where I'm presently "at"  |

For most comprehensive listing of color varieties and some flaws, use SG Great Britain Specialised Stamp Catalogue Vol. 1: Queen Victoria -- it's no contest.

That does seem the best, but it was throwing me as the alpha designations all relate inverted watermark, imperf, specimen, etc., with color being denoted by numbers in parenthesis
I am using a 1970 edition... i should compare to a newer edition I suppose to see how much difference there is (aside from color photos... my copy is all in B/W)

Stoneham catalogue has about the same colours as what you have. Looks like a pricey set if you are looking for all varieties!

The contents of the Volume 1 QV haven't really changed much over the years, just get the most recent one that matches your budget. Don't feel the need to add on extra just because it is a newer edition. I have a 2006 (14th Edition) at home and keep a 1976 (6th Edition) at work (  ), and they both serve just as fine for me. The catalog ID numbers are very different from the other SG GB catalogs, but you learn to live with it. It's all about the information in the Specialised, rather than the ID numbers. When you want to go deeper into a specific issue, such as the Jubilee Issue, then you need to go to the specialized books rather than the catalogs. There, you will get a wealth of more information, especially plate info, but don't expect catalog ID numbers nor values. I did pick up an inexpensive 1998 (12th Edition) Stoneham just for comparison/reference. |

Well- The used Stoneham Catalogues are rather inexpensive-( in comparison) so I'll order one and see what new light it shed brightonpete I have a LOT of Jubilees to go through and already have a number of color/shades. I'm just hoping to not haver to remake the pages too many times too bad Maury doesn't offer a QV catalogue |

i've just ordered a used copy of Stoneham, hoping that helps
Comparing my 1970 SC Specialized QV to my 2013 SG Specialized GB, the color varieties have been greatly reduced... so this is on hold for now-
and I suppose I could just display color variations without any specific SG catalogue#. What have your done? (if you collect the color shades?, please post a page!!)
Just have to move to something else (of which there's an almost endless number of choices)

received today- sold as deep brown... but if so, then what I thought was brown is wrong.... but this one is mint and better centered  |
