    All eschers are shades of gray. The differences are subtle. Here is an old thread with many good photos to compare the various colors.

    I recently acquired a little grey Escher with yellow streaks similar to this one posted by Oldengaerde. There's also a yellow stone in that post that could be a Thuringian.

    Other than catalogs displaying the end labels which denoted color I don't know of any. The only colors I've seen on end labels or listed in catalogs are dark blue, blue green, light green and yellow green.

    Is your yellow escher performing well for you ? Can you post a photo of the yellow escher alongside some of your other eschers for comparison ?

    That looks like it could be a Yellow Green.
