Tropical Green - Diamine

[visvamitra]

Manufacturers since 1864, Diamine Inks relocated to this purpose built 'state of the art' factory in Liverpool in 1925, where they successfully carried on using the traditional methods and formulas for ink production. Over the years the company has changed hands and are now located close to the world famous Aintree Race Course

As I've mentioned few times I have mixed feelings about Diamine inks, however I tend to use them from time to time. They have some amazing colors. Last year Diamine inks introduced their 150th anniversary inks in triangle bottles:

There are eight colors in this series of inks:

1. Blue Black
   
2. Blue Velvet
   
3. Carnival
   
4. Regency Blue
   
5. Safari
   
6. Silver Fox
   
7. Terracota
   
8. Tropical Green
   

Tropical Green is nice but boring green ink.
