Human memory is often faulty. This time, I made a wrong color association. While trying out J. Herbin Diabolo Menthe, I kept thinking about Caran d’Ache Carribean Blue. Once I inked the dip pen, well, was I wrong! Both colors remind me of ocean (as to which one, it is entirely debatable). Diabolo Menthe is definitely greener, and Carribean Blue appears more of a turquoise.

Love your writing sample 🙂 And both colors are really beautiful. I'm quite drawn to Diabolo Menthe, even though it's really light, do you think it'll tire reader's eyes in, say, a letter?

Funny that you ask! I actually use this ink in my second letter to you, so you will witness first hand on the effect of the ink ;)In short, Diabolo Menthe is not as straining to the eyes as, let us say, neon pink. Green is usually soothing to the eyes, in my knowledge
