Comparison Of 48 Greens

[KAC]

How obtuse of me! I neglected to ask what your reasons are, colors aside, for your likes/dislikes. I've used Noodlers Hunter Green (very nice saturation and tone) but based on your project, I favor the Penman most.

Spec - freakin - tacular!

 

I just recently bought my first colored inks, four bottles of Diamine, but my wife asked me why I didn't get any greens. After seeing this, I think a bottle of Kelly Green will be in my next order.

I'm glad that you like it

 

@DaveBJ - Kelly Green has nice color but it tends to blossom on nibs (nib creep in pure form ). Not all of them but it can be disturbing when you uncap your favourite pen and see greenish cauliflower on it

Great job. Many thanks.

Wow.... thats amaizing, Thanks a lot.

This is so cool - thank you! I've never used GvFC ink, but I'll be getting a bottle of Moss Green now.

 

I love the splash part. I'm left with the almost irresistible urge to fling ink all over my walls.

Wonderful collection, and a very helpful review - thank you for all the work that went into this. I am a big fan of blue and green inks.

 

One question (I am a bit obsessed with showthrough as I must use both sides of paper at work): Do you still have the pages you used in this review? If so, I wonder if we might see the reverse of those pages to get an idea of which inks show through, and which ones less so?

 

Thanks again!

OH MY GOODNESS

[Zilknitha]

Thanks for posting this. I want to do a drawing using all these colours of ink now. Feeling inspired.

[Sridhar]

Fascinating effort!!!!

[visvamitra]

@drgoretex - I'll try to do it, but remember that I use Pilot 78G with broad nib. It's a dry writer and it usually doesn't cause any showthrough unless you write on cheap newspaper

@papen - thank you

[swanjun]

All I can say is "Wow." And "Thank you."

[Chrissy]

Wonderful. There are some great colours in there.

[arran]

Amazing thanks for this great work

[bardharlock]

I've been looking for a green. This is one of the most comprehensive posts I have seen anywhere, let alone on FPN. Thank you seems hollow compared to your efforts, yet it is the most I can say, so thank you.

[swanjun]

I find myself most transfixed by Nicpon's Zielony Galusowy. What can you tell us about these Nicpon inks?

[Azuniga]

Great effort, thank you !!!

Nevertheless, in the very first set I got the feeling the Ebony Green from Private Reserve looked more as Ebony Brown and I missed Avocado Private Reserve, one I use the most...

Regards

@swanjun - Nicpon makes amazing inks They're highly saturated and behave well in most cases. Zielony galusowy is gall ink, you can check the review here.

 

@Azuniga - well most of inks from Enony series dry this way on my copy paper, they turn brownish. I'm not sure whether it's dye or something else? I wanted to make Avocado part of the comparison however it's hard to get Private Reserve (not to mention Noodler's) in my country. That's a pity
