Another very valuable review Michael; thank you. The comparison scans at the end of the narrative are particularly helpful. (And what an aptly named ink!)

Thanks for another review.

 

This new Herbin color is another very nice one. Can you compare this one to the "Rouille d'Ancre" in a scan? The two colors look very similar to me, but I do not have an eye for color.

Thanks for the review of this colour and the Rouille d'Ancre, Michael.

Monitor settings can be tricky to some colors.

 

Rouille D'Ancre is nothing like Larmes de Cassis at all but also appereance of Rouille D'Ancre really changes by using different pens a lot.

 

I tried to compare those to another new color (Rouge Bourgogne) below:

• Larmes de Cassis >>> think of blackberries
• Rouge Bourgogne >>> think of raspberries
• Rouille D'Ancre >>> think of a flesh/skin color

Cassis is fig, I believe, but what's Larmes?

Thank you so much for the comparison, and for adding the Rouge Bourgogne. Without doubt I am going to have to try these colors.

Tears, as in crying. Cassis is the black current fruit (one word? two words?). Perhaps it's idiomatic, but, if not, it would be something like 'black current tears' in English.

Thanks for the review, and for the comparisons. I have this one, but have not popped open the bottle yet. Interesting that it's comparable to PR Arabian Rose which is another one that I have but have not used much. I'll have to check them both out, side by side. Thanks again.

Brillant report and the quality of the scan is very great.

Rouille d' encre in fact is a game with words ( sorry for my english, i m french ), Rouille means rust and in french , encre (ink ) and ancre ( anchor ) just sounds the same.

Best
