WOW this is amazing! Might I recommend the Edelstein Jade? I purchased a bottle recently and it's become my favorite green!

Outstanding comparison! I love the ink splashes.
Green is a tricky color imo.
R&K Verdigri is definitely missing, and of these colors "ebony green" is the only one which I might buy someday.

That is one hell of a good job.

In doing a paper test I did 11 green-greenish inks

For Green-Green inks which are close to hue, in shading

R&K Verdura beat MB Irish by a head and Pelikan 4001 Green by a neck.

 

Pelikan Green is a most under rated ink. It did beat it's little brother Aventurine which feathers on some papers.

Feathering/wooly line is always a part of my ink testing...Take Feathering to include wooly line.

 

BEF= bare eyed feathering from a normal sitting position. :angry:

NEF= near eye feathering :(

MagF....feathering under a big honking magnifying glass. :unsure: :rolleyes:

NoMagF= perfect, no feathering or wooly line.. :notworthy1:

In reference to P. T. Barnum; to advise for free is foolish, ........busybodies are ill liked by both factions.

 

 

The cheapest lessons are from those who learned expensive lessons. Ignorance is best for learning expensive lessons.

@JeanManuel - I absolutely enjoy Verdigris however it's not really green :) I can include it in future posts, why not.

OK. Maybe it is green-blacks I am looking for. :)

Would you mind sharing how you made your splashes? They are really nice and look consistent in some ways.

I like green inks, but I didn't realise there were so many! Thank you for this. :)

Thanks so much for the wonderful comparisons; it's really nice seeing the shading that inks I regularly use, actually are capable of, like MB Irish Green, Iro Ina-Ho and Diamine Sherwood and Forest Green. Sailor Leaf Green is now on my list thanks to you!

 

The complexity of PR Ebony Green is spectacular.

Beautiful! Although you've triggered my craving for Penman Emerald.

 

For those of you looking for a black-green: in addition to PR Ebony Green may I recommend Diamine Green Black and De Atramentis Black-Green.

 

And there's always Zhivago.

Thank you for this labor of love.

 

I am going for the Faber-Castell moss green. Heading out the door right now.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
