De Atramentis Maron

[white_lotus]

Well that's very sad to hear.

Could they have changed the color and not updated the website? I can't see them offering the ink in one color for the German label and another color for the English label. Strange.

 

I checked here and found a silver gray in the ink reviews.

Maron refers to Chestnut.

And if I see the color I think they even meant the roasted ones...

Dear Jan

Dear Jan what a coincident

 

I was just loading doen a picture of Chestnuts too

 

The Chestnut is usually called Kastanie in German. But in some regions for instance Tyrol where I live and in Northern Italy it is known by the Name Marone or Maroni (pl.)

It derives from Italian. North Tyrolis hte austrian Part of Tyrol and south Tyrol is the german speaking Part of Northern Italy

Translator apps aren't great. Mine showed that Marone in German was chestnut in (American) English. I didn't try the reverse search of putting chestnut in English to see what would come up in German.

 

I'll do that now.

 

Ah ha! It came up Kastanie.

I still wonder why the color was different on the label and probably in the bottle. I don't have mine yet... waiting for my brother to ship my three bottles of ink. Has anyone owned the Wagner version? If so, what color was it?

[Misfit]

Dr Jansen answered my email and said Marone was indeed the right color for De A Richard Wagner. He kindly offered to send me a bottle of the right version/color.
