Hi Sam,
Color ID from images is tricky. Lake has more blue in the color and 219D are typically fairly easy to differentiate from the 220 when you have a pile of them.
Below is an old stock book I had laying around, the first five stamps are 220, the rest are 219D. Hope this helps you.
If you would like a 219D message me off-board and I will send you one.

Hello, I would consider myself somewhat of a novice to collecting and have come across 2 2 cent 1890 Washingtons. I know there is a lake and a carmine version given numbers 219d and 220 respectively. The two stamps appear to be two distinct shades of red but I keep going back and forth on which each is so I thought I would see if anyone has any recommendations or opinions. Thanks.
