Diamine Delamere Green

I've been looking for a deep, rich green that I can use when I'm not in the mood to handle PR Sherwood's temperamental tantrums.

I've come to really love this colour, and have since bought a bottle form Nordic Pens. The shading on CF & Rhodia paper is great.

But even on more absorbent papers, the shading remains impressive.

No bleedthrough, though there in some shadowing. On CF and Rhodia paper, you can easily write on both sides though.

As usual, more images in my here.

It's difficult to tell... But it looks like a green/black. Is it? Or is it just a very dark green?

This looks just like the Diamine Sherwood Green I have; really similar. Very nice though but I don't need the two colours. Good review.

Nice shading, but a bit bluer than I'd like. For now I'm happy with MB Irish Green, but there are occasions where I've longed for a darker green.

I had missed this when indexing, and just found it now. I guess it was a good thing I have to update all my photo links, since I've found two reviews that got left off the index and fell into obscurity.

 

So here's to one of my favourite greens. You rock, Delamere!

I had a 30 ml bottle of each ink and I mixed them into an old 45 ml Aurora ink bottle about 70/30 Sherwood/Delamere and the shading results were amazing; the color more or less stayed the same.

that is a very nice looking green, i'm going to ad it to my wish list! I guess 52 bottles of ink isn't enough.

Funny Goulet doesn't seem to carry this color

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
