Gibbons describes it as lavender.
Now as a gardener I know that there are several shades of lavender, depending on species and cultivar, But if the colour definition of your monitor is accurate I would say that lavender is a fair description of the colour in the real world ( of course colour chart colours are not always accurate - think about your local homestore paint charts !).
They do not describe any other shade. It is on chalky paper which might make the colour look a bit washed out, or it might be faded slightly. If you have only one it is difficult, you really need two ( or preferably several)to make an informed decision.

I have this copy of the 200 Reis stamp of the 1886 King Luiz issue. The Scott catalog lists this stamp as gray lilac. This stamp appears blue to me. Can anyone shed some light on this or should I get new glasses. Thanks.
