(okay orange)

 

Here is Orange Soleil, a "sun orange", from Jacques Herbin, a high-end offshoot of J. Herbin. It costs 19 euros for a 50ml bottle. I was kindly shared a sample by a friend.

 

Orange Soleil is a decent bright orange with good flow and okay lubrication. It's quite close to Kin-mokusei (Sailor) but slightly darker with more orange and less yellow.

This is a lovely orange, with the disadvantage of competing in a field of many lovely oranges. Your script in reviews is beautiful, especially the heading. What pen and nib are you using?

Thank you Bob! It's a soft medium Pilot Elabo/Falcon. (I flexed too much and too hard and there are cracks around the breath hole now.)

Oh no! Well, cracks or no, you deploy the tool so artfully. Thank you for the review.

A very happy, sunny color indeed!

I don't have my bottle of Orange Indien with me but it's a much paler, less saturated orange. It looks quite brown and dirty to me. It's one of the oranges I hate.

 

I have a bottle of Orange Indien, but haven’t tried it yet. I like the look on your swabcard though. And since we often have opposite tastes, an ink you hate could well be an ink I love :-)

I will give Orange Indien a try in the coming weeks.

I suspect you'll love it :D Can't wait to see your review!

Nice review - do you happen to know how it compares to Orange Indien?

 

Looks closer to Edelstein Mandarin.

Thank you for another nice review. Sailor Kin-Mokusei is one of my favorite oranges, guess have to give this one a try too.

Thanks for the review. This looks to have some reasonable shading to it. But it's still, well, orange. So my wallet thanks you as well.

Thank you for sharing! These are the kinds of oranges I really like and I appreciate the swabs for comparisons!

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

Wow, that is a great orange, vibrant, almost electric. I'm kind of with Ruth, though, it's still orange so, like reds, only fun for a couple days then interest quickly flags. (That said, I'm still gonna give GvFC Burned Orange a go.) ;)

It's hard work to tell which is Old Harry when everybody's got boots on.

      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. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      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
