http://inks.pencyklopedia.pl/wp-content/uploads/De-Atramentis-Sahara-Grey-nazwa.png I present to test the ink De Atramentis Sahara Grey color olives mixed with old gold. I have to admit, it's quite an interesting color. But writing it refer strange feeling that my eyes lost written text that is noticeable after a few seconds. Very nice shading can be achieved with a nib "F". As an interesting note, the color is painted in different shades depending on the lighting. It is worth looking him up on a sunny day cloudy and ... in the light bulb. A multitude of colors may be surprised ...

Well perhaps you've become acquainted with the inky fruits of the master Polish ink maker known as KWZ's endeavors. If not yet, then perhaps this will finally entice you. Now typically I don't use "yellow" inks. And this ink isn't one. And in spite of the name it does not have any glitter or sparkly particles in it. But it does have the appearance of the old gold in the medieval religious icons. This is quite a useful ink as it's not really too bright, and can be easily read. I can imagine this being used for fancy party or wedding invitations, announcements of your latest book release or gold record. And probably fun writing. This is not a silly "glitter" ink in a gel roller used by young girls to make everything they write "special" and to draw unicorns and horses. So enough with some American stereotypes. But you get the idea that I've never liked those gel pens with their glitter. The basic color of the ink on the page does appear as "gold" but also tending in a way towards golden green. To me a nice look. Very restrained. Again the camera has not done well in imaging the page. The actual page looks nice, and this image really looks like a deer caught in the headlights. The others are better for certain. This is a good pic. Not meant to be waterfast or resistant, but something is left behind. A really interesting mix of dyes, that isn't captured very well in this picture. There's a slight amount of violet, a yellow and orange.
