  Both are viewed as "brown." The fact that at least the second one has luster showing, which is required for the Mint State grades, has nothing to do with the color designation.

  Even if I suspect the white balance might be off, which I am not certain it is by very much, both coins appear brown (BN) to me.

  While lighting, white balance, exposure, etc. can all make difference, the Lincoln and the IHCs do not appear to be even close in color.

  +1, both brown and the first IH seems to have been cleaned in the past.
