I didn't fancy green-blues before and if I had bought the Diamine Steel Blue looking for a pure, icy blue I would have been disappointed. But, knowing that this is a greenish blue/blueish green I knew what to expect. I'd almost describe this as a dark turquoise with a green streak. It is a beautiful ink - made for letter writing - with good writing properties. The review is written in a Rhodia web notebook where it feathers some, but on ordinary copy paper it doesn't feather at all. In all a good ink with an original colour.

Interesting color, I really like the 4 four ink comparison.

I agree, the 4 ink comparison is a great touch. Also I love to see this ink reviewed, since I'm borderline about purchasing it :)
