As I've bought a few new inks recently I thought it was about time I did some quick reviews, so here's one of Diamine's Jade Green. Hope you like it.

Thanks for that review. If you get a minute I'd like to see the Teal reviewed. It looks like you get a lot of shading with these new Diamine inks or is it just the pen?

Great review! That green reminds me of Herbin's Vert Olive in a way. Very nice.

Thanks for doing a review on this ink--I've been wondering about this one.

It looks almost identical to Herbin's Vert Pre.

Best, Ann

The only Herbin ink I have is the Lie de Tea, so I can't comment on similarities between any other colours. I think this Jade Green is definitely growing on me as an interesting colour. I think the colour name is deceptive though.

yes the name is very deceptive, as it's not jade at all. I would call it 'spring green',

Yes, Spring Green would be good, I think, or even Spring GreenS (those young cabbages without much 'heart' to them! Perhaps only the Brits would know about them?)

If you want to collect confusing names, just add Diamine Umber to the list.....as I've said elsewhere, I am not aware of the substance umber's ever being green!
(From Wiki "Umber is a natural brown clay pigment which contains iron and manganese oxides. The color becomes more intense when calcined (heated), and the resulting pigment is called burnt umber.)

Jade does, of course come in many shades but it's usually green, although it can be creamy-white (and even pink, iirc) !

Quite a nice colour, IMO, Carrie, but I prefer Kelly & Woodland from the Diamine range, for light & dark greens.
