Hey Ryan, thanks for reviewing this ink. I always wondered what it looked like! It's a pretty color, but I don't think I could use it for too much writing. That page-full is about all I could stand at one time! But it would be nice for a here-and-there color for some little details... I really like Herbin inks, even if I don't use them for writing. I use them more like watercolors sometimes - the really light shades are beautiful!

Thanks!!

Thanks for the review, Ryan. I was also curious to see what this one is like. It looks quite similar to Diamine Sepia on my monitor.

I was thinking that as well.

Herbin Amber (right) is significantly lighter than Diamine Sepia (left) and noticeably more yellow (although the Sepia is quite a yellowy brown).

Thanks for the review. Interesting color.

Thanks for the review Ryan.

I have used this ink but, as you indicated, it's a bit hard on the eyes to go back to notes made in this colour. What freaked me out - at first - was that it applies quite a bit lighter than it dries. I felt like I was using invisible ink until it dried on the page.

the 'earwax' comment struck a cord with me and now I cant get it out of my head
