Here is a comparison of all the inks using a Goulet 1.5 nib.

(The last one is De Atramentis Jane Austen, which is a sedated, dark, calm green. It has a definite grayish tint when compared to the Daimine greens here.)

"Writing is 1/3 nib width & flex, 1/3 paper and 1/3 ink. In that order."Bo Bo Olson

"No one needs to rotate a pen while using an oblique, in fact, that's against the whole concept of an oblique, which is to give you shading without any special effort."Professor Propas, 24 December 2010

 

"IMHO, the only advantage of the 149 is increased girth if needed, increased gold if wanted and increased prestige if perceived. I have three, but hardly ever use them. After all, they hold the same amount of ink as a 146."FredRydr, 12 March 2015

Thank you Tessy Moon! I enjoyed your writing and descriptions as well as the colors. They're all lovely ~ I am leaning toward Meadow for a wish list candidate.

Thank you all for your kind comments! I really appreciate each one!!! :)

 

I like all three inks. I think they are different enough to each warrant a small bottle.

It is kind of funny because I never thought I'd be a big fan of the color green. You never know what ink you might fall in love with! It can come as a surprise!

I am definitely going to get a small bottle of Meadow and Apple Glory. Kelly Green will be on my wish list for later down the road.

Oh and I prefer Meadow with the flex nib over the broad 1.5 nib. I think the flex really shows off the shading so well!

Apple Glory I love in both flex nib and broad nib - which is nice to have the choice!

Very interesting, thank you for the review...I think I prefer the Meadow for my writing purposes...I have been looking for a green and this may be one of them.

Very nice reviews Tessy Moon. Thank you.

 

I already use Meadow and Apple, and I think I shall now add Kelly to my selection of greens.

 

I find that Meadow, paired up with Poppy Red. is great at Christmas.

I love the comparisons. Thank you.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

nice to have this comparison. I always thought meadow to be fresher, brighter, lighter. In this review it looks more promising for my purpose..

It really depends on the pen, nib and writing style, I think.

 

I typically write with a heavier hand (gripping the pen tightly and writing with more force) so the ink comes out darker.

This morning I was writing and focused on writing with as light a touch as possible and it came out much finer and lighter. (I was using an Ahab with the flex nib.)

I will try to upload a photo of my notes to show the difference.

 

I will say that compared to Apple Glory, Meadow is not bright or light. I think meadow is in the middle - it has a nice grassy shade, but it also has a good dark component that sort of strengthens the ink. Hopefully that makes sense.

I would not call Meadow a bright green at all. A fresh green maybe. But definitely Meadow is the perfect name that describes it just right.

I asked my husband who is not yet into fountain pens (I am trying to convert him) what he thought of the color. He did say that Meadow looks exactly right for it's name. A thought from someone impartial ;)

 

 

Edited to add:

This is my 100th post! Yay!!! :bunny01:

This is the best I could do! It is really hard to get an accurate picture of the real shading. (I just really need to get a scanner!)

 

This demonstrates how the color varies between light and dark. In some parts the ink is even lighter in real life.

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
