    There's no mention of this in Michel Spezial, so my guess is that exposure to sunlight has weakened the green component of the colour. :( The 5pf may have had a mix of two different greens, one of which has been affected.

    The two stamps are described in Gibbons' as yellowish green and bottle-green respectively; if the green component of the printing is diminished then the complementary yellow and blue components will predominate as per your examples

    Soory, but your "rare colours" are nothing else than damaged stamps. The colours are changed by sun light and in this condition these stamps are only good for paper recycling.

    Sorry for the bad news!

    best regards from Germany,
