Recommend a Dark Blue-Green Ink!

[ticoun]

i made some with 1 part parker permanent green(the old kind with solv-x), 1 part sheaffer blue. it looks similar to the text in my signature. the flowing-and-bleeding-like-crazy properties of the quink disappear after being mixed with the sheaffer. very well behaved mix, i'll need to make some more of it!

Waterman South Seas Blue

Noodler's Squeateague

Levenger True Teal

 

oh. I forgot about squeteague. It's gorgeous.

 

 

+1 on squeteague. Darker than Tsuki-yo and behavior better too.

+ 1 on Iroshizuku tsuki-yo. I just inked a new (to me) M800 with Mottishawed OBB nib, and it shades wonderfully! Really nice, smooth line, good flow, decent drying time. Tsuki-yo is definitely a keeper, especially in the blue-green category.

I have recently set side by side various Noodler's inks. Some are a dark blue-green: what do you think?

My picks are Sequeteague and Yama Dori are good suggestions. But I prefer to make my blue-green myself. I made an amazing teal colour by adding PR Sherwood Green to PR American Blue until I got the colour I was looking for.

Noodler's Navy is a nice blue/teal color, not at all what I expected from it's name, but it is rapidly becoming one of my favorites. I have had no problems with feathering, but it can be a little light in fine or dryish nib.

 

+1 on Navy.

First choice is Noodler's Air-Corp Blue Black as it has not only the color but also wonderful water resistance and tends to a very crisp line.

 

Second choice (and only second because of the water-resistance issue) is Private Reserve Ebony Blue.

 

Don't let the names fool you. These are both (to my eye) dark blue-green inks (and rather heavy on the green, at that).

 

Private Reserve Ebony Green is a favorite.

[Parker Quink Turquoise]

FPN:

 

I'm looking for a beautiful dark blue-green. As little feathering as possible! What are your favorites?

 

 

Private Reserve Naples Blue/Bexley Turquoise would be a good choice.

Noodler's Squeteague is a great color that fits your description.

My experience is that it takes FOREVER to dry, though.

Sometimes, diluting with water fixes the no-dry zone.

I don't think anyone has mentioned Diamine Blue Black yet, though a bunch of other Diamines have been cited.

 

Definite green tones with the blue. At first I had no clue why they named it Blue Black.

Noodler's Air-Corp Blue Black

[mateo44]

Ditto on the Iroshizuku Tsuki-Yo. it's a lovely color, kinda a greenish blue-black. Or maybe it's a blackish blue green. Expensive, but so far it's worked beautifully in every pen I've loaded it up with, from fine to broad nibs, and works well on a wide range of papers from bad to good.

 

+1. Great ink.

Diamine Teal-Green with a hint of blue

Diamine Twilight-my favorite blue-green

Noodler's Aircorp Blue-Black-one of the best behaved inks I've ever used, but a bit too green for my tastes

Noodler's Legal Lapis-the drier the nib, the greener it looks

[Calbei]

I just thought I'd point out that while there is plenty of support here for Legal Lapis, I find that it feathers more than any other ink I've used and has a habit of bleeding and show-through on lower quality paper.

 

While I do use LL regularly, the colour is not as exciting as some of the other alternatives posted in this thread.

I have no problems with it feathering, etc.

Turns out I'm not the only one who likes Diamine Teal, glad to see it's just underused instead of underappreciated.

 

+1 for Diamine Teal. Very nice and well behaved ink, although personally I'm not big fan of blue-greens...
