just 'cause I can. I'm still not satisfied with the color correction but i'm working at the 'net PC vs. my graphics PC.

Nice review - the description of the color being that of the moss hanging from the trees is perfect. To see what Umber looks like, I just have to look out the window. Thanks for all the recent reviews - well done.

Ooooh, I loved Pelikan Moss Green, and mourned the discontinuance of it (along with the kirschrot, the aubergine, and the mustard yellow) for years. If this is close, I shall have to go hunt down a bottle.

it is greener - but it will give you that grey-green moss shading that Pelikan gave. be happy to send a sample if you aren't ready to commit. it's a bit of a challenge getting the umber in the US right now. I bought mine from The Writing Desk - absolutely excellent service and the price was actually a bit less than buying in the US (*if* you buy more than 2 bottles of ink).

Great review, Kcat. I agree with you that the umber is a close match for moss green. I like it better than the moss green.

No wonder this color is usually "temporarily out of stock" at our favorite online Diamine retailers .

I'll have to get a bottle now

well, they've had a hard time getting it. I was told by one seller that it is "exclusive to the UK" but that is only true if the US importer chooses not to bring some over. A Pen Lovers Paradise did not get their shipment of Umber. Really, if 2 or 3 folks get together on an order of 3 or more bottles, you will *save* money by ordering it from the The Writing Desk. Add in the minimal shipping cost to the others who buy and it balances out to the same cost. And you'll not be waiting for the other folks to get their stock in. (2 months?)

I'm game... anybody else interested?
