14 colors of Stella dials. Any others?
For some reason I haven't been able to find any coherent lists online of all the colors used for Stella dials. I did my best to compile pics of the 14 distinct colors I came across. Are there any others I'm missing? Am I wrong about red/orange and blue/baby blue being different things, etc.?

Click here for high res image. Thanks for looking

I think there is a more turquoise blue... lighter than the 2 blues you have in your photo.

Nah. Stella dials is a difficult topic however. So many refinished dials around which makes pricing almost impossible. Even experts have trouble picking an authentic dial out from a nicely refinished one. I would personally only buy one from a dealer I trusted (which are very few and far between) or buy through a well-known auction house (Phillips/Christies) where they guarantee authenticity. Too much risk paying top dollar for a dial that very well could have been refinished.
