Note from Dick Dixon (The Santanamigos Group on Facebook Aug 5, 2023): Poster printing undergoes several stages, with the last few being the application of colors. One or more 'proof' sheets will be printed to check the colors and consistency of ink. In this case more green was added to the poster to achieve the desired look before the final approval was reached. The uncut sheet of two handbills ended up with a slightly different color combination than the poster.
