De Atramentis Neroli Color family: Greens |
![]() |
Sample? No | Scented? Yes Shimmer? No |
|
Comments: A clear, energetic spring green, a hint of yellow without being washed out, and a heady rich floral scent of Neroli. A perfect ink for early summer! |
DeAtramentis Sandalwood Color family: Greens |
![]() |
Sample? No | Scented? Yes Shimmer? No |
|
Comments: A scented ink in a cool green that leans just a touch to the blue, but still a pure green. The scent is a kind of soapy rendition of sandalwood, rather reminiscent of Bee & Flower Sandalwood soap. |
DIamine Magical Forest Color family: Greens |
![]() |
Sample? No | Scented? No Shimmer? Yes |
|
Comments: One of Diamine’s Shimmertastics line, a fairly deep green (not quite a forest green, more of a true green) with a silver shimmer, and just a hint of iridescence in the shimmer as well. Lovely for holiday cards and such. |
Diamine Meadow Color family: Greens |
![]() |
Sample? No | Scented? No Shimmer? No |
|
Comments: A sweet clear summery green, a bit darker than Iroshizuku’s Chiku-Rin, and a hair more to the blue. Almost a grass green, if you have a very well watered lawn, and maybe only in the first part of May…. In any case, I love this one! |
Iroshizuku (Pilot) Chiku-rin (Bamboo Forest) Color family: Greens |
![]() |
Sample? No | Scented? No Shimmer? No |
|
Comments: The Iroshisuku line are pricey, but overall, they are worth it. They come in a huge bottle, and are exceptionally well-behaved inks. This one is a glorious spring green, with some nice shading; stunning on a wide, wet nib, but clear enough for use in finer nibs. |
J. Herbin Emerald of Chivor Color family: Greens |
![]() |
Sample? No | Scented? No Shimmer? Yes |
|
Comments: Herbin managed to create quite the combination with this ink. In addition to the soft golden shimmer, this deep emerald green (a forest green with just a hint of blue-ish hue) sheens to a burgundy, adding a surprising depth to the green and gold. Needs a broad or very wet nib to shine, however, but when it does, it’s worth it! |
Levenger gemstone Green Color family: Greens |
![]() |
Sample? No | Scented? No Shimmer? No |
|
Comments: This is a nice deep green that leans blue, but not too far. It doesn’t shade much, but balances at a pleasing emerald, and is a well-performing ink. |
Mont Blanc Green (Vintage) Color family: Greens |
![]() |
Sample? No | Scented? No Shimmer? No |
|
Comments: I nabbed a couple of vintage Mont Blanc inks in the plastic bottles. I had high hopes, but given that the plastic (similar to that used in many ink cartridges) will leech moisture, I suspect that these brimful bottles had at least partially evaporated and were diluted. It’s a shame, as it looks like this would have been a stunning color in full strength. As it is, it will be part of my vintage collection, not my active rotation. |
Noodler's Bad Green Gator Color family: Greens |
![]() |
Sample? No | Scented? No Shimmer? No |
|
Comments: Another offering from the ‘bullet-proof’ Warden Series inks. I like this a lot, but I think I prefer the Polar Green but a hairsbreadth, though there is, in fact, very little difference between them. |
Noodler's Cactus Gruene Color family: Greens |
![]() |
Sample? No | Scented? No Shimmer? No |
|
Comments: This is a great green; bright and vibrant, but cool, this leans just a smidgen to the blue side of green. This is the regular version, but it’s also available in the ‘eel’ series of lubricating inks. The regular version works a charm all on it’s own though. Definitely a color for those drab winter months when you’r cloning for summer! |
Noodler's Green Marine Color family: Greens |
![]() |
Sample? No | Scented? No Shimmer? No |
|
Comments: A very vibrant, intense dark green. I love this color! Semi-waterproof, meaning it will bleed out a regular cloud of green, but won’t actually go away. |
Noodler's Polar Green Color family: Greens |
![]() |
Sample? No | Scented? No Shimmer? No |
|
Comments: Waterproof, lubricating, non-freezing, and green. Very similar to the Bad Green Gator, but I think I prefer this one; it just seems a little richer and more vibrant. |
Noodler's Sequioa Color family: Greens |
![]() |
Sample? No | Scented? No Shimmer? No |
|
Comments: Deep, cool, pine green, close to black when wet, shades to a deep hunter when dry. |
Private Reserve Avocado Color family: Greens |
![]() |
Sample? No | Scented? No Shimmer? No |
|
Comments: Lovely soft middle green, not too yellow, but vivid. Subdued enough not to scream ‘green,’ but bright enough to be fresh and verdant. Shades from olive to deep pine. |
Private Reserve Blue Suede Color family: Greens |
![]() |
Sample? No | Scented? No Shimmer? No |
|
Comments: Very bright turquoise blue, almost a green. In fact, I’d say this is closer to the Visconti Green than to any of the other blues I have. Shades to a nice deep teal, and loses a bit of that electric blue/green when writing, but still reads as green, so that’s where I’m cataloging it. |
Sheaffer Emerald Green (Vintage) Color family: Greens |
![]() |
Sample? No | Scented? No Shimmer? No |
|
Comments: A vintage ink form Sheaffer, in the ‘inkwell’ Skrip bottle with the yellow & blue label. I found this in an antique shop, and when I opened it up, the ink was ready to write! A gorgeous rich & almost Christmasy green. I’d love to find more of this! |
Stipula Musk Green Color family: Greens |
![]() |
Sample? No | Scented? No Shimmer? No |
|
Comments: This is an odd color, not quite brown, not really green. I’m actually not entirely sure why I bought it (unless it was an attempt to not buy another brown…). I haven’t really tried it out yet, but I think this might be a love or hate ink. I can see it having a really pleasing vintage look to it…. Watch this space…. |
Visconti Emerald Green Color family: Greens |
![]() |
Sample? No | Scented? No Shimmer? No |
|
Comments: Bright and Christmasy emerald green with a definite hint of turquoise, particularly in the lighter range, shades to more of a spruce. (Glass bottle.) |
