color variations
I am glad I don't collect color variations. This is just me, but none of those ones shown look brown to these old eyes. More power to you guys that plainly see the difference. I better stick with variations that are easier to see. Again, I am sure these things are the cat's meow for you die hard color variations collectors but to me they look like faded black.
 BTW, I have seen some brown old mills that I felt were really brown, these just aren't some of them.....again, I am sure they are brown, I just can't tell. PS, see how the brown looks in those 2 words, that is brown to me.....

Tim and Jim
Tim- Good point on the brown Old Mill. I keep forgetting it's on the back of the ghost overprint card.
Jim- that bottom right one is what I have remembered seeing. Now that is brown. I guess the Lenox don't come like that....

If I can't even really tell if its black or brown, and in fact the grading companies often can't tell either, it tells me that this isn't really a variation of any significance in the T206 set, if its a variation at all...
Ink and paper age and fade in many different ways over a hundred years, and this whole "brown ink" is just much ado about nothing in my opinion, but that's must my two cents, more power to you if this kind of thing gets you salivating...

I didn't feel like the one on eBay was brown until I did this comparison - now I think it's the brownest one I've ever seen (but still not very brown, in my eyes, when compared to the other browns, like Old Mill).
The "color corrected" simply means being run through the Photoshop Auto-Tone, Auto-Contrast, and Auto-Color passes.
