Post marked mail colors
A fun topic!
In the United States, the colors used for postmarked mail are standardized by the United States Postal Service (USPS). Here are the typical colors used for postmarked mail:
- Blue: This is the most common color used for postmarks, and it's often used for regular first-class mail.
- Red: This color is typically used for priority mail, express mail, and other expedited services.
- Green: This color is often used for postmarks on international mail, as well as for certain types of mail that require special handling, such as mail sent to or from military addresses.
- Yellow: This color is sometimes used for postmarks on mail that's been processed through a specific type of machine or has undergone special handling.
- Purple: This color is occasionally used for postmarks on mail that's been sent to or from a specific location, such as a government agency or a military base.
It's worth noting that these colors are not always strictly followed, and some post offices may use different colors or designs for their postmarks. Additionally, some special events or commemorative mailings may feature unique postmarks with different colors or designs.
I hope that helps!
