The difference in the blues for 383 to 386 are not nearly as obvious as 398 to 401
401 is cobalt blue and shows up quite well - 383 to 386 are obvious side by side but appear more as a darker and lighter shades of the same blue.
here's my 398 to 401

Thanks Robert, that's a huge help. I think I'm OK since I can see a small difference between my 383 and 386. The two blues are much closer than between 389 and 401, as you also show in your two sets. I seem to have trouble buying blue stamps. I bought a Nova Scotia number 2 (light blue) that actually turned out to be #3 (dark blue). I now have three number 3's, two full stamps and a bisect tied to piece, but have yet to pick up a #2. I wasn't too upset with my re-purchase of #3 since the price was very fair. But one of these days I'll find a #2!! Thanks again for your help, I'm fairly sure I actually have both stamps!

I got a copy of #386 in the mail today from a Hipstamp seller. It really looks the same as my #383 which is supposed to be dark blue. Could someone out there who has both please post a picture showing both together so I can see the difference in the shades? I just compared #'s 398 and 401 where the difference between dark blue and light blue is very obvious. I assume #' 383 and 386 should be the same! Can anyone help?
