And I was told the difference in value between a &quot;Brown&quot; and a &quot;Red&quot; could be a house! I&#039;m yet to see an example of such a remarkable price difference, riding entirely on colour.</p><p><br /></p><p>I already thought Sheldon Scale marks out of 70 were silly enough - as though we should care about the almost indiscernible differences between an MS63 and MS64!</p><p><br /></p><p>Is colour grading a new thing?
