Vote On The New Jacques Herbin Glitter Colour

[lgsoltek]

Personally all four are rather uninspiring and I can’t see how they are “very distinct shades”. I actively hate at least two of the colours already so I picked the one I dislike the least: Fir Green.

pretty bad site implementation shall I say, where's the regular ink range ???

If you're thinking of Perle Noire, Lie de Thé, etc. they don't belong under the Jacques Herbin brand, but its sister brand Herbin. In the same vein, Graf von Faber-Castell and Faber-Castell are related but separate brands.

Which is a rather new development though. When did they split? Last year?

Thanks OP for posting this link. I went with the Fir Green as it's the only one I think I would use regularly. I love dark green inks.

Blue, just because I have too many greens.

As Groucho Marx once said, "I don't know what it is, but I'm against it!"

I voted for fir green. I dont like light colored inks, I like the ink to pop on the page.

Thank you, Olya, for posting this! This was fun, despite the agony of choosing.

You're welcome!

I am looking forward to this ink and wonder how it'll be packaged. They say it'll have gold and silver glitter, so it fits neither into the 1670 line nor the 1798....

 

Their "split" is also quite confusing to the consumer it seems, not sure how good an idea that was...

More than 1000 people voted, the winner is fir green.

This will not be the name, the name will be announced in due course.

Great. It was the best choice.

[GardenWeasel]

Excellent!

Well, like I said earlier: my general response to the 1670 and 1798 inks have been hit or miss. I'd have to see the final product (and whether it will be gold or silver sheen) but overall I suspect I'd take a pass. Just happy it wasn't the other green....

Glad it was Fir Green -- depending on how it ends up, I might get a bottle.

As per initial statement, it'll have both gold and silver glitter.

Overkill

It's official, on 1st October the ink will be released, it's called Vert Atlantide.
