This was helpful! I am graduating college (Marshall University) in May and was looking for the "right" green to address my announcements with. After seeing the comparisons. I believe I like the Penman Emerald better than the Lierre Suavage that I was considering.

yes - but good luck finding some.

 

And before anyone harrasses me - mine is off limits!

 

Seriously though - it is hard to find and it is expensive when you find it. Your best chance is either on e-bay or put a WTB post out on the various forums. i apologize for being completely selfish and hording mine solely for my use. :D

:D I do not blame you in the least! I would hoard it too! I'm good at research, so if I find some I'll let you know where to get it...after I have got my own bottle of course :lol:

Have you tried PR Sherwood green or Mont blanc british racing green, both would be pretty close, the mb is slightly duller and the pr is bighter but lighter, maybe pr with a drop or two of black...

I no longer have the J. Herbin ink but you could probably add a little black ink to get close to Penman Emerald. Make sure it isn't a red-based black like WM though or you'll just get mud.

 

I stumbled on a Penman Emerald clone (in terms of color) Christmas '06. A touch of Noodler's WP Black in Diamine Woodland Green. Lierre Sauvage is slightly more yellow than Penman Emerald (to my eye) while Diamine Woodland Green is a pure medium green. My accidental mix was a dead ringer for Penman Emerald. Nothing I've tried has the "shimmer" of Penman but I was pleased to know that if I ever run out of Penman Emerald, I've got a back-up plan.

KCat,

 

What are the advantages of photographing ink reviews in natural light rather than just scanning them or photographing them with flash? I have read that different digital camera brands "read" colors differently, just like color film used to. Are you manipulating the .jpg file in order to correct the color?

 

Would it make a difference if it were a bright but overcast day?
