Hungarian color error or changeling?
Moving on with EFO’s, next on the line I have a 1946 Hungarian definitive stamp (”Industrial worker”) with somewhat dramatic color change. It’s possible that one of the colors has been omitted during print, or this is some sort of chemical changeling.
On the left is an average looking copy, on the right is a copy with changed colors. Change in background color is easy to notice, but the change also applies to inscriptions and centerpiece background color as well. The only “normal colored” impression on this stamp is nominal value print.

Michel catalog doesn’t mention anything about the omitted colors, but on the other hand it’s not a specialized Hungary stamp catalog. As this set seems to have somewhat plenty of color variation (see sample below), this could very well be a real thing.
