I appreciate the tip on checking out different websites to get a better idea of the color of an ink. Oftentimes, I see a color that I love on a video and then I'll look at it on a retail website or two and it might look totally different!
Many buildings in Paris have zinc rooftops. It's actually mostly gray in color, but the ink does evoke it; I guess for the design team at Herbin, it was either blue sky hue or pigeon-dropping-shimmer 😝
@@DowntheBreatherHole I got a bottle of it this past weekend, it's quite nice indeed. You just have to imagine through the layers of smog and weather to understand where the blue comes from 😅
I did not know this. Certainly J Herbin is a legacy brand, and it's nice to see them continue to innovate and introduce new products to market. This was a great video, and I'd love to see a writing sample with different nib sizes to see how it performs on broader nibs. For example - does it allow for shading? It is a lovely colour.
Like I said in my video, I knew this bottle type was typical for Jacques Herbin, yet very different from the bottles of most other ink companies. But I didn't know the bottle design had been around for that long!
Thanks for watching! Yeah, seeing this ink with multiple nib sizes would be good. Doing that would be a little too time-consuming for my schedule, unfortunately, but it's always a good idea to look at pictures and videos of an ink posted by multiple sources to make sure you have a good idea of what an ink looks like. But yes, this ink definitely has a good amount of shading. It's really pretty.

Yep! Even if I worked really hard to make it look perfect on my screen, your screen could be completely different.
3:00 what a beautiful doodle!
Oh thanks!
tryptophobia warning on the doodle, LOL. Nice ink. Cyanny-Prussian Blue cross, ish.
haha I learned a new word today.
