Another review for fun. This time its Turkisgrun! beautiful color, always wanted a turquoise green, cause turquois is my birthstone and just wanted some marine greenish color. Have you noticed that this color is very common on female clothing?? Its sort of feminine and is sorta awkward color to take notes with hahahaha. i get looks..... i swear.





This is macro with Ohto Tasche.




Macro showing difference in color. Is it obvious to others as it is to me??




The bottle is also cool that it is a pen stand, but it feels cheaply made because there is a crease right down the middle that juts out and makes it an unstable platform for larger pens.

So I want some feedback about my revies. So im curious about a few things and please be honest..

Do i post too many pictures?
Are my pictures too big?
Are my pictures even accurate on everyone elses monitors?
Any other suggestions?

Oh yeah my grammar and spelling sucks, no need to mention about that, haha.

oh yeah, another picture for fun,

I sure enjoyed this review!! Very nice color, & it does look better in the "wetter" pen.

Thanks for the reviews and Mazel Tov on the nib. Is that the same bottle as the Herbin?

Sigh... another ink I'll have to add to my collection, in quest of the perfect turquoise! The pictures are great, thanks.

If you like this color you may want to try Sheaffer Skrip green, which actually is more teal than green. Another fun mix is 50% blue suede & 50% Sheaffer green, for a greenish turquoise.

If I can ever get my scanner to work again I'll post images -- some day...

Judging by the bottle and (I think) Betty's own remarks about this ink, it is made by J. Herbin for Caran D'Ache. Some years back, they had different bottles and presumabnly different origin.

Concerning your reviews: they are great, the there can't be enough pics, their size is alright and achieving the same colour appearance on different (no-calibrated) monitors is nearly impossible.

BTW: sorry about the suboptimal picture quality I can publish, my only digicam is a Casio Exilim EX Z3, and my lighting possibilites are limited, currently.

Thanks for the very informative reviews--you cover a lot of important points very cleatly and the pictures are very good! Keep up the good work!

Great reviews, Dudley! Lots of fun!

Yup, I think it's made by Herbin not only because of the same bottle, but even the bottom of the bottle is stamped "Herbin".

Dudley, great review and I think your blue Tasche looks so much better than my pink one. This review makes me get out my own bottle and use it. I haven't used it in a while.

Woah, i never thought of looking at the bottom, how neat! big fat "J. HERBIN" stamped right on there.

And betty, i actually like how the pink one looks actually hahah. being a guy and all thats sort of weird but i think it looks best in pink.

Pickin' up an old thread...

Does anyone know how the Caran d'Ache turquoise green compares to the Caran d'Ache Colors of the Earth Caribbean Sea?

According to Michael Richter's review, Turquoise Green is "similar in color but more intense and slightly darker" than Caribbean Sea.

Bye.

Could someone point out a shop selling this ink online?

That's a lovely turquoise green. Haven't seen this brand in my local pen shop though.
Fun review.

I'm curious, too. Does anyone know a place that still have the old bottle? Or, is it the same color as one of Herbin colors?

I have the Ohto Tasche also and I really like the way it writes..

Wait a minute, the Tasche is a cartridge only, how did you do that??

Lot of us fill empty cartridges with ink we like using syringe.

This color looks exactly like Sheaffer Green in the bottle - which is a very nice turquoise green. However, I have some Sheaffer Green cartridges and they are a true green - not a turquoise green.

I have both and i think they are virtually identical. The shading can vary but it does that with BOTH inks.

Thanks!

Great review..

I'm not much of a lighter color ink fan, but it looks like this one might be worth trying out.. It's not too over the top bright..

Thanks for spending time on that review.. It sure helped me!

I like having the pictures, more is better when it come to color and ink.

Not to me, I like the closer views especially.

They seem fine on mine but there are so many types of monitors and external lighting conditions vary so widely that i would not worry too much.

Keep up the good work. Now to get the turquoise green... Quick Watson! I am getting an inkling I need a new ink!

How does it compare to the Herbin Vert Reseda, which is also supposed to be a turquoise green? The pictures of the Vert Reseda in another thread in this forum look somewhat lighter, but I guess that could be because they are taken using different equipment.
