J. Herbin Vert Olive - Compact Review

[Jan2016]

Oh thank you for this review. I like that color. It looks like it might be a good match for my new pen.

I have had some disappointments with Herbin Ink because the colour I got was not as saturated as I was led to believe. Vert Olive looks like Army Green with yellow added. The Tomoe River paper makes the colour look better than my experience of it was. Because it was before I got any Tomoe River paper.

Herbin is not a saturated ink....or not the 5 or 6 I have, they are however good two toned shading inks....which was why I chased them.

This though is not my color.

In my cart in Amazon.....

 

I've had for me, good luck with decent papers 90g and better and Herbin.

If you have any interest in red ink, try the new Herbin Rouge Grenat; I didn't believe the color I saw from the first samples shown & had to have my own bottle to actually believe I had @ last met a Herbin ink I could call saturated. (The Bleu Profondeur is another of the newest Herbins & is also a highly saturated ink.)
