Much of the writing done on the subject of errors
has been illustrated in black and white. Black-and-white
reproduction is not so bad for imperforates and inverts, whose color
scheme is not altered by the nature of their error. Color-omitted
errors are a different story. Black-and-white reproduction can't begin
to capture their full glory. This gallery affords
the opportunity to view some standout color-omitted errors in
full color, as they were meant to be viewed and are best appreciated.
So please enjoy! Use the arrows to browse.

Take Me
Out to the Ball Game!
Baseball. 1969. Black omitted
Scott
No. 1381a
A visually striking transition pair coupled with a great
topical. The ball is suspended in midair, perhaps waiting to
be blasted into left field, and as the eye travels from left to right
in anticipation of the hit, it observes the color fading, until at
right, devoid of inscription, only the very essence of the stamp remains.
A starkly attractive error that is, in itself, a home run!

A
Great Rarity in a Wonderful Transition Pair!
Savings Bonds. 1966.
Dark blue omitted
Scott
No. 1320c
Transition pairs are always instructive, and here we see
two stamps, the upper with nearly the complete omission of most
colors and the lower stamp with only a slight omission of color.
A great combination of eye-appeal and rarity.
