The mid-1852 orange brown is another color that seems to have been used mostly in mid-1852 that has an orange brown tint and does not go with the brownish carmines. It is somewhat close to the bright brownish carmines, but has more orange rather than carmine or red. It has been seen from plates 1L, 2L and 3.
