Diamine Umber

Great job, Steve. I've never found anything by them when searching.

 

Ah, and now this is confirmed:

 

"... Monaco Red which was specially formulated for His Serene highness Prince Rainer III of Monaco and the Grimaldi family in conjuction with a presentation of a limited edition fountain pen. Good enough for royalty, good enough for you!"

Just curious: Does anyone know why Diamine named a green ink with a brown name? (I looked up 'umber' in the online dictionary just to be sure.)

 

:blink:

 

Tricia and everybody else,

 

Please look at this thread in Inky Thoughts, where I followed up this question thinking that Umber and Burnt Umber must be different. The answers are thorough and should let Diamine off the hook - their choice is quite legitimate!

Hope this helps,
