Glad you are enjoying it!  The first murky green.

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

Create a Ghostly Avatar and I'll send you a letter. Check out some Ink comparisons: The Great PPS Comparison 

Don't know where to start?  Look at the Inky Topics O'day.  Then, see inks sorted by color: Blue Purple Brown Red Green Dark Green Orange Black Pinks Yellows Blue-Blacks Grey/Gray UVInks Turquoise/Teal MURKY

Let me add some more: Vinta Pilancitas Gold Dust along with the MB Racing Green and Pilot Ina-ho (and a small hint of Oster Green at Night, which is not murky)

So as I said on the blue page, I think it's funny that all your greens on this page are different from the ones I use regularly.  I do keep Jade Noir around, but only for determining if a pen is dry or not, as I think the ink is wet!  And I have MANY greens...  No Dark Forest? Forest Black? Vert Atlantide? Green at Night?  

 

Maybe I gravitate to darker greens than do you. Of course, some think Ina-ho counts as green, and that's not dark.

I don't like blue leaning greens.

What about black-leaning greens?  I think that's what I tend to like.

I like stealth blacks, like super dark green. But Vert Altantide is awfully blue.

@Detman101It looks a lot like Vinta Pimlicos, without the sparkle.  Nice mixology!

Thank you! I've considered adding some pearl powder to this mix and seeing if it adds some multicolored sheen to the ink.

Not yet...but i've got pens and I've got spare cash and more time than I like.
Son popped positive for COVID this morning, so I'm quarantined for 5 days on watch.
May as well experiment while I'm stuck at home.

      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
