Waterman Green

[JDlugosz]

The files I present are calibrated correct values in the file, with an embedded ICC profile for Adobe RGB. You should be able to compare any of the scans side-by-side to see the difference, because the exposure and adjustment is exactly the same in each ink scan. To aid color perception on your monitor, there is a thin white border to show the paper color (the paper is faintly blue in sunlight) and a gray matte. The matte is perfectly neutral, so judge the color relative to that.

Writing with the fine point Hero, the ink was neither noticeably too wet or dry. It wrote like most common ink. There is a high degree of shading, keeping in mind that fine point and this paper doesn't shade much normally. In the extreme close up you can see how much feathering there is.

So what color is it? I bought this bottle, along with a few other inks, because I'm looking for a true green. From the color picker screen shot below, you can see that this has a Hue of 171°, which like other greens I've tried is actually a desaturated Cyan. It's actually just a tiny bit greener than Levenger's Gemstone Green

For a much truer green, look no further than Diamine Woodland Green.
