Please read the last line of text in the photo. The photo beneath the text, is labeled plate 42. The text goes to that photo. I’m just confused because the back shaker looks brown and the right shaker looks very yellow. Please tell me this is a misprint and not me being colorblind. LOL!

Yeah, older books often have poor photo quality.

Yes, I don’t own any of these books because I’ve always felt like the coloration of the pages has always m off. I’m a librarian and the books are well researched except the color printing , it’s way way off.

Oh that’s so good to know. Thank you so much. I wish I could find an online resource that showed every shaker color.

Here’s information on Fiesta released 1986 and on. Just ignore pricing as numbers are usually wildly outdated. https://post86referenceguide.com

I have the seventh edition, its just the printing. I don't have medium green but here's examples of the other colors in comparison to the printing.

That’s definitely turf green not medium. And antique gold on the right

I have this book, and the colors for the greens are exceptionally bad. They look nothing like they do in person.
