As always, I get great advice here, so I added some additional inks. Paper = Levenger Circa Rhodia Junior size. Lighting = Indirect sunlight. Cotton swabs used for ink. Pen used = Montblanc Mark Twain with medium nib and Iroshizuku Syo-ro ink.

 

Top to Bottom: Ambre De Birmanie, Café Des Îles, Cacao Du Brésil, Rouille D'Ancre, Rouge Opéra, Bleu Pervenche, Violette Pensée, Vert Olive, Vert Réséda, Lierre Sauvage, Vert Empire

Thank you. Very pretty.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Don't know where to start?  Look at the Inky Topics O'day.  Then, see inks sorted by color: Blue Purple Brown Red Green Dark Green Orange Black Pinks Yellows Blue-Blacks Grey/Gray UVInks Turquoise/Teal MURKY

I am familiar with 4 of the J.H. inks presented here, and the colors look very close to the reality on my screen. Thank you for these pictures !

Anyone know of a reference for when the new Herbin colors came out?

 

I'm trying to figure out which aren't in a complete set of what was available in 2001. Bouton D'Or may have been the newest color at the time.

 

I think the Ambre, Cafe, Cacao, Opera, Lierre, Rouille here are all more recent.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy.

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
