on saleJacques Herbin Rouge Grenat - Ink Sample

Very pretty red! Came securely packaged and arrived promptly.

I loved this ink sample. It's a beautiful red. It's similar to Noodler Antietam but a little less yellow/brown and more wine red. It dries faster than Antietam as well. Sorry that's my only comparison, it's the only other non-black ink I had in my pens.

If you've tried Oxblood and wished it were more of a true red, you should give Rouge Grenat a try - it's a dark and dignified with excellent flow (a pleasure to write with). The shading is subtle but nice. I also appreciate seeing ink of this quality as an affordable standard offering - good on Herbin for that.

Beautiful deep color!

I was drawn to this ink because I felt like it had a fuchsia undertones, but on the page it leaned more towards a rusty red, not unlike dried blood. Maybe it was the paper I was using.
