Is a nice green.... I was expecting it to be closer to Waterman Green, but they are both distinct colors. Thanks for the review.

Thanks much for the review! I find myself wishing this ink had more shading, or were a bit richer. It's a pretty color, flows well, is smooth, etc. I currently use this ink for mixing. Who knows? Maybe one day I'll find I enjoy it purely for itself.

May you have pens you enjoy, with plenty of paper and ink. :)

I wonder if the blue and bright colour is because of the digitalization-process, or if the ink is truly so.

I know only the vintage bottles (almost same shape, but with slightly different Pelikan logo, and in a green box and with a white etiquette) and it looks different!

 

Also, does it have a strong scent, compared to other inks? The old formula smells like gouache paint, and I wondered if it has to do with an older formulation, or characteristic of all Pelikan Brillant Grün.

 

Thank you for the review.

DerkleineHerrFriedemann, the color on my monitor is nearly identical with the Pelikan green I have. Can't speak to it smelling similar to gouache.

 

This site lists the hue values of inks. Pelikan green is near the bottom of the list.

Oh thank you, for the information, and the most interesting links you gave me. It confirms my thought that possibly Pelikan 4001 Brillant Grün changed formula through the years, and if so, possibly other colours also.

 

My vintage bottle (of which the bottle looks like this one: http://www.pendemonium.com/images/inkbottles/i1035.gif is rather closer to what I see on the review of Diamine Umber ink

That is a very different green. Lovely. I like the way the new Pelikan green looks, but it would be a surprise to someone who knew it as something else.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..
    • A Smug Dill
      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
