Pale Green/ Grey

[Eclectica]

Ok - here is the blend I was talking about in #15 - and pic :

- the pen is a fairly wet writer and achieves good shading with most inks:

 

J.Herbin Eclat de Saphir 2 parts

Diamine Jade Green 1 part

My recent swatch of Diamine Salamander.

 

The ink writes a dark line but when washed over produces a colour close but no cigar really as I think it's a smidge too red.

Perhaps diluted 1:1 this would produce a colour close enough when used in a pen.

 

Good luck!

DA Golf...a good shading ink runs in that direction. Look it up in Ink Reviews. Though there it is a bit greener than mine.

 

A slightly grayed Green...lighter than Vert Empire or Swift. It is a good stand alone ink....on the border of murky; not over the border like Empire or Swift.

When compared to more vibrant greens ...is over shadowed....alone; a quite nice shading ink.

Try De Atramentis Charles Dickens. You'll likely need a dry and/or larger nib to get it to look like your swatch there (as DA inks tend to be very free flowing and this one is no exception), but it definitely fits the bill!

Looks just like Private Reserve Gray Flannel to me.

That's exactly what I was going to say. I really like that ink - but I knew it wasn't a pure grey before buying it. Some people expect a true grey and don't like the ink because of it.

Graf von Faber Castell Moss Green maybe?

+1 on Sahara Grey.

So many good suggestions guys - than you very much.

 

Eclectica, you'r mix looks awesome on my screen - I might give that a try too.

See, and I thought there wasn't such a colour....... Now to find a somewhere in the UK for 50 samples

I agree that Vert Empire and Jonathan Swift could work. Possibly Noodler's Pushkin, too, though it'd be difficult to find.

 

Pushkin is the best match for PALE greek-grey. One of my favorite.
