Vert Réséda - J. Herbin

[Nellie]

Scan of Vert Réséda which I bought for mixing. It looks very different from the colour indicated on the pack as it's much paler and more blue-green. Have finally managed to upload the pics - thanks, bossy!!

Why can I not attach/upload pictures anymore??

May be your browser? I cannot do it with firefox, but IE works ok.

Thanks for giving us a good look at this color. I've always wondered about it.

Great review, I really appreciate the scans in particular. This looks a lot like my Montblanc green. I wonder if J. Herbin makes that as well? It's about about blue as a green can get without crossing over into teal territory, but it's grown on me. Anyway here's a scan so you can compare it for yourself.

Have it & like it a lot.

 

BTW, ALL of my Herbin inks feather on lesser quality paper and will bleed through just about anything except Clairefontaine & HP 32lb laser paper.

Ooh! I love that handwriting and that color.

I have it. It's too pale for my tatse when I use it with fountain pens, but with a dip pen I find that the color is just beautiful.
