Groenmarkt Smaragd - Pw Akkerman Ink No 26

[visvamitra]

PA Akkerman to sklep z tradycjami. Kilka lat temu zaczęli sprzedawać atramenty z logo Akkermana, które dzięki niepowtarzalnym butelkom, stały się obiektem westchnień osób zainteresowanych tematem.

Akkerman labelled inks have amazing bottles and quite nice colors. Rumor has it they are Diamine inks (maybe diluted / mixed / changed) so as I'm playing with Akkerman samples I try to match Diamine inks to them.

Groenmarkt Smaragd has good color that I enjoy a lot. A color very similar to Diamine Umber.

Well, they are similar. So if you run out of Groenmarkt Smaragd that you enjoy and you don't happen to leave anywhere near Hague, you may think about filling it with Umber. You won't feel a difference (especially that Umber is one of best behaved Diamine inks).

A favourite colour - a good, semi-serious ink. Excellent review, and thanks for info on a good replacement when my 150ml runs out

Definitely this is the same as Umber, one of my favourite and most used greens. But neither ink is a smaragd, or emerald green, a very confusing choice of name by Akkerman.

 

ETA: By the way, I am enjoying your reviews very much.

If you can, try putting them in the sun and seeing how they fade.....

Here was my sample. I enjoyed it, but it's not really my color.

Very interesting color - I'll have to try this as well as Diamine Umber.
