This is pretty lovely. Where do you buy it - is it available online??

I placed the order by phone to Castle in the Air (www.castleintheair.biz) in Berkeley. Although they do not yet have online ordering, they were more than happy to take a phone order (510.204.9801).

Thanks for the review and scan of this interesting colour. I found some Abraxas colours in Scriptum of Oxford some time ago, and I came away with a bottle of the rather pleasant Anthrazit, but I've never seen the range anywhere else.

That looks simply wonderful. You have lovely hand writing, I have chicken scrawl handwriting, sigh.

Ah, Berkeley. (Sigh.) Lovely place.

I will have to contact them. Just a lovely green.

Thank you for a very nice review. I like your handwriting a lot

The color seems looks very nice and darker (thus more usable) than Herbin Olive Green. I have Herbin's version and while I like the color is it too light unless is a very wet nib to write full page in it. This one howerver seems to have superb readability!

This is the kind olive green I was looking for when I bought J. Herbin's Vert Olive. I recently mixed Vert Olive with Perle Noire 8:1 and got a very similar colour to your scan (perhaps if I'd gone 10:1 it would be the same).

I've never heard of Abraxas before, so thanks for this review.

Thank you for the mixing idea!

I love Castle in the Air. I have the Abraxas Light Grey, Emerald, and Fever red (for grading). They are all great, well-behaved inks.
However, now they will probably be sold out due to all of you "pen nuts."
