I was initially drawn to the dark green Hermes, but will probably add other colours for my Mento and a soon to be acquired Taroko or Red Antique II. I can't decide, so will probably end up getting both, in time. The ink, which I gather is made in Austria, is close to the British Racing Green I was seeking and comes in a very classy square glass bottle, easily on a par with some other famous luxury brands, but at half the price! Laban are an excellent underrated brand, offering quality products at very affordable prices.
