There are a whole bunch of samples here. The scanner scans a bit off-color though.

Thanks! Great to see more colors. That grey is rather nice!

Nice, cheerful collection of inks, Betty. Thanks for showing us.

 

Best, Ann

Beautifull colors.

With the exception of the grey, I lilke them all.

Nice review Betty. I am interested in Sapphire colour. Would you take a digital photo of the page, maybe just a piece showing Sapphire and Jade Green colours. I got the feeling that digital camera takes more accurate colours than scanner.

The Diamine Sapphire blue and Jade green look great. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks, Betty!

I've read lots of comments saying that matching colors in digital imaging is tricky, so Betty is in very good company.

 

Here are the verbal adjustments I can make:

Pelikan Brown is a bit redder in real life (Enjoy it for me . I do enjoy looking at the other colors in this picture.).

Sailor Gray is just a bit lighter in real life.

Waterman Purple is either just a bit redder or just a bit less blue in real life.

I can't verbally adjust the other colors.

That Diamine Sapphire earns a ! (J. Herbin Eclat de Saphir has a strong competitor for color now, although for children's use I don't know if any brand beats the non-toxic nature of J. Herbin.)

Very nice Betty - thanks for sharing!

Thanks, Betty. That Caran D'Ache Turquoise green looks seems to be an interesting teal colour. Will try it myself.

 

Hmm, Goodwhiskers, my J. Herbin Eclat de Saphir was rather a royal blue with purplish hint, I somehow felt, that there is the wrong ink in my bottle ...

Grrr... Betty what am I going to do with you...

At the request of klemenv, I've taken a digital camera photo of the colors. Not sure if it makes a difference, but here:

I've also taken a picture of how the new cap for the Diamine inks look like. I think I prefer the original black cap instead of the red speck cap.
