Here's my handwritten review of Waterman Green, inspired by all the lovely reviews by girlieg33k (I feel like such a dork- only now, as I was copying down her username did I realise what it actually says- all this time I was reading it "Girlie G 33k" and thinking, wow, she must be really athletic!" (because in my head, 33k = 33km...) but I digress..)
This is my first review and I know there are some elements I've missed- I'll probably put a scan in from my Moleskine diary tomorrow, as well as a swatch, as I just realised I don't have one. And I've also noticed that the colour is much more subdued and dull-looking, at least on my monitor, than it is in real life. It seems to lack vibrancy and saturation in the scan. I don't know how to calibrate my monitor, so I decided it was best not to play with the levels and things in Photoshop lest I render the image completely inaccurate.

I personally find Waterman green a bit too light for comfort...it turns into a lovely dark green if you add a little bit of Waterman Havana Brown.

The color on your scan is pretty close to the color I get with this ink. I'd say it leans a bit toward the blue side of green, which you can observe by comparing it to Noodler's Green Marine for example. It is very well behaved and I like it too.

Nice review. I have Waterman green and it seems a lot less turquoise and more green than in the scan. However, I use a wet medium nib, and the scanner takes away the vibrance of the color, so it can vary. I love this ink, very good flow and color.

Huh, now I look at it and it looks exactly like it does in real life. Go figure, maybe it was really late.
