Very interesting, that's the first time I have seen such colour descriptions.

Very interesting, that's the first time I have seen such colour descriptions.

It is actually the second time, as you have seen them before on page 1 of Vol.5 No.4 of the Matchbox Collectors Club newsletter (posted here in 2013):
