19 February 2024 – Jacques Herbin Terre d’Ombre

Brown may be one of my favorite “non-basic” ink colors. Blue, black, red… are there other standard inks in your mind? This brown is, just like the rest of these Jacques Herbin inks, simply magnificent.

18 February 2024 – Jacques Herbin Rouge Grenat

A deep, beautiful garnet red, which makes sense since that’s the name of the ink! Just a fabulous line from J Herbin.

17 February 2024 – Jacques Herbin Gris de Houle

Grey… but with shading properties that give a range of greys from light and gentle to dark and purposeful. A very nice color.

16 February 2024 – Jacques Herbin Emeraude de Chivor

A beloved color for many fountain pen users, with its sparkle and sheen and attractive emerald color. It’s loud; it makes a statement; it’s fun!

15 February 2024 – Jacques Herbin Bleu de Minuet

I’m still placing yesterday’s Bleu Austral a bit higher, but both of these blues are stunning and rich and strong.

14 February 2024 – Jacques Herbin Bleu Austral

This one rates higher for me than yesterday’s, but both are terrific.

13 February 2024 – Jacques Herbin Ambre de Baltique

A week of high end ink is coming your way from Jacques Herbin. Today we start with a gorgeous amber, but I’d expect all seven to be super rich and beautiful.
