Great review, and on my monitor the color is showing up true.

 

I'm in the same boat: I bought this ink with the impression that it would be a dark, dark green (it's called ebony green, right?). Although it shades dark, the lighter parts are a decided bright green.

I use Ebony Green in one of my pens and it is much darker than in this scan. Given what I see on the page when I write, the name is appropriate. It is a very dark green for me.

What size nib are you using out of curiosity?

I am using this in a pelikan 800 fine point and the line is much darker than the line in the sample attached. I think my bottle is darker.

I'm glad there's others chiming in. Just to confirm as well though I'm looking at my screen as well as the actual ink review. It's the same, that's the crappy thing about having 1000 different monitors!

Looks about like Sherwood green?

Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right

to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.

For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers,

and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie. Revelation 22:14-15

Sorry, just found this. It's in a Visconti Van Gogh with M nib.

I just got a sample of this from Pear Tree Pens, and it looks lighter/brighter in the reviews here than it looks in person (I'm using it in an M-nib Levenger True Writer). I'm really loving the color and flow - I just wish it was bulletproof!

wish list!

Wow, another great review. What is this,like your 100th? :notworthy1:

 

I've got a bottle of Penman Emerald Green, but not this ink, and the difference in monitors and scanners really makes it impossible to tell how they compare. The Penman I have seems to be both darker and richer than what I'm seeing on my monitor, but I'm not sure what that's worth. I'm such a sucker for green inks I may have to buy a bottle of this PR ink too.

 

Out of curiosity, why do you use cardstock for your reviews? TIA

      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
