Supplement to the 1932 Third Edition
The 1933 Supplement only lists Additions and Corrections.
The major change is to the 1d Red KGV stamps, adopting recommendations of the Specialist Committee set up to form a workable shade listing for these Stamps.
Note that "G" Shades have been assigned to Editions 1, 2, 3 for completeness.

  Marone / Maroon
Early Editions of the Commonwealth Specialist Catalogue refer to a colour "Marone", whereas editions from 1957 on refer to this colour as "Maroon".
"A Colour Dictionary" for "Stamp Collectors" (1913, 3rd. Edition) by B. W. Warhurst, and published by Stanley Gibbons, lists the following definitions.
Marone: One of a class of impure colours from Black and Red.
Maroon: Brownish Crimson or Deep Claret colour.

  The 1981 41st. Edition
This Edition drastically reduced of the number of listed shades and deleted the "G" numbering system.
This was a stated attempt to appeal to the "average" user of the Catalogue...a bewildering concept for a "Specialist" Catalogue.
Therefor for clarity, "G" Numbers and Shades have been assigned to these "Colour Groups".
