I've been so happy with Noodlers Standard Brown in my Bexley caramle Fun Time that I'm ready to look for inks that match my green marble Pelikn M200.

As always, I know you will have great ideas!

Many thanks,

Laurence,

I would go for Lexington Gray which has a slight hint of green in this case.

Or of course a color similar to the Wimbledon grass, but I have not seen such yet biggrin.gif

I have Diamine Umber in my green m400 right now. While its not a perfect match, it still looks good with the green stripes. A generally fantastic ink too.

I might suggest J Herbin Lierre Sauvage... a real pretty green.. kind of grassy in color..
Or if you are looking for something a bit more conservative Noodlers Avacado
And for something real sweet a 50/50 mix of both inks....

Diamine Emerald is a new favorite of mine, a nice medium grassy green, better in a wet writer IMO. It's a bit wimpy in a dry writer.

Umber is nice as well, a bit dustier and slightly over to the blue end of the spectrum from Emerald.

Waterman Green is a very nice ink, performs well. It does seem to lean a little to the blue-ish side - (I've heard that adding a few drops of yellow is very effective at clearing that up, however.)

I have PR Spearmint in my transparent green M200 with abroad nib - lovely!

Umber is a great colour too - really like that in a fine/EF nib - but shades well with a broad pen as well.
