J. Herbin Diabolo Menthe

[tenurepro]

A light turquoise from Herbin. flows well, shades well, and dries fast. But I can't see myself using this ink at work - too light for my taste.

Thanks for the review. I think the ink is too light for my taste, even for non-professional use. I find it hard to read.

[tenurepro]

same here - perhaps it can be used in more artistic applications ?

Same here two. I really liked the colour itself but not for any actual writing with a pen. Possibly the colour I like least of all 37 Herbins. But, it might fill the bill for some neat doodling with or without a brush.

Ditto here. I got a sample of it on a whim once, and ended up mixing a bit and dumping the rest for the vial.

 

It's a great colour, yes, but not immediately useful. Does anybody here use it for art?

[The Ant]

I use it mostly for underlining text. I have found it somewhat dry writing.

Love this color, just not for writing, it's too light and hurts the eyes.I prefer Diamine Soft Mint (greener and darker, but somewhat the same idea), it's easier on the eyes.

 

The underlining idea by The Ant is great, it'd have never ocurred to me

[tenurepro]

neat application - thanks for sharing

I use it mostly for underlining text. I have found it somewhat dry writing.

Great review, great color, and frustrating ink. I could never get it to work right. I much prefer Vert Réséda.

[coyotewhisper]

Definitely a pretty color, I agree it is too light for letter writing. Maybe a highlight ink?

[caldopollo]

I had to mix this ink with a drop of Montblanc Mystery Black (per filling) and I have to say that an an interesting color came out.

very expressive color, I like it
