T202 Evers color variant

Or if the card was soaked, it could be color loss due to that. But also likely, missing a color pass. That doesn't make it a scrap, just a print defect-led color deficiency.

Here is a proof sheet I own from the T51 set made at the same time, which shows the color palette that the Murad/S. Anargyros company had access to at their printer.

Very cool John, I've never seen that before.

Just saw this thread. Checked mine and here are the two I have that are blue. Note Schulte seems to be a darker blue than the Foxen and, from what has been posted, it seems only the right side contains the blue?

Yes, much different than the CMYK or RGB pallettes we're used to seeing with modern printing utilizing 3 or 4 ink colors to create all colors.

Yeah I've seen the color "pallettes" on lithographs before but I had never seen the T51 proof before.

I think Chris originally posted this one

It looks like they printed the Evers in light blue and then overprinted in green, maybe to make the green look darker?
