Who knows more? The 1st edition of this volume : the cover seems much bluer than the reprints or is scanned incorrectly. My 1st edition has the same less bright colors as the reprints. Have there been 2 printing rounds?

There is indeed a difference in color scheme between first edition and reprint.

The first edition has a blue background and the reprint green-gray.

The difference in brightness between 2 same printings may be due to scanning the image.

Perhaps Arco should pick up his book, because it is his scans with which he replaced the fainter images of LangeJan01 in 2009. And the original pictures of Bonte were again much fuller in color. I think the color difference is simply due to the scanners, but you can only be sure if you put the copies next to each other.

I entered my copy as the 3rd scan. If that is the correct color scheme I will replace the 1st and put the copyright cover as 3rd, can you have a look?

Your color scheme is correct. Replacing the front cover and adding the endpaper is fine in my opinion.
