This is one of those inks that really looks almost black in a F nib but in a wet B nib just sings with gorgeous color and shading. It took me a while to find the right pen for it, but it's wonderful once I did. Thanks for the new review.

I've had a good result mixing about 1/3 PR Avacado Green with 2/3 Noodler's Lexington Gray. It's a nice muted green.

I love the color of this ink. In my Lamy Al-Star F and EF it comes out a very rich green. My beef is that it takes so long to dry, even on thirsty paper like Neenah Classic Crest (forget about using this in a Moleskine). This is the only ink I've used that gives me colored fingers and hands after writing...

It was just posted yesterday. How updated do you need!? :ltcapd:

 

Love this color! A slightly smaller picture would be easier to read however.

Wow! That looks almost black. Mine looks more dark olive.

Does it bother anyone that 'Avocado' is spelled wrong? It drives my wife crazy, both as a good speller and a lover of avocados and guacamole-related foods. :roflmho:

I like to mix the "Avacado" ink with Pelikan Brown ( about half and half ) to make a deep mossy color I call "Forest Floor"

you certainly can't really detect the greenish shade simply by looking at the words written. it only shows when you smeared it on paper. maybe 'cause it's a fine nib.

Absolutely!

In my experience it's an attractive deep green that exhibits quite a bit of shading even in a XF and F nibs. Comparable to Diamine Umber (another great green) but a bit darker, a bit greener, and a bit more vivid than the Umber.

 

Unfortunately I really think the scans in this review fail to do this very attractive ink justice.

Ok, I'll say it...could it be another MBRG replacement??
