Interesting --you're exactly right! Some colors come out fairly true, and other colors are nearly impossible for the scanner to get accurately. Fascinating how some color is too complex for the scanner to read...

 

And now a color (thanks to Kestrel!) that is very pretty in the green-blue range:

I gave away my bottle of gemstone green, but I shouldn't have. It is a great ink and it's fade resistant.

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

An interestingly similar ink, but with much less sheen, is Diamine's Delamere Green. I like it a lot. I'm very strange about my secondary colors --I like blue-green but NOT yellow-green, and I like red-violet but NOT blue violet. Kooky, I know.

 

But DG is a very handsome color —something I could use more often than just for coloring in forest backgrounds... ;)

Must be my monitor, the Delemere green looks a lot like the Levenger Gemstone. I bought this one too and haven't tried it yet.

No, nor your monitor —on paper they look quite similar. I was going to take note of that, but left it out. Gemstone does, however, does seem to have a hint, just a soupçon mind you, of ... aqua? Hmmmm.

Hmmm. Not quite as emerald as I would have thought from the name. Maybe like a dowager's old emeralds handed down through the centuries...

 

Give the Monteverde pen a day or two, and see what happens. I hope you don't have the experience I had (converter kept coming loose from the nib unit, and the only time I could get any flow was immediately after a fill).

So far, so good, but either the pen is a dry writer or the ink is a dry ink. I don't know yet.

I love that green Amber.

 

Officially added to the list.

 

SteveSurf sent me a sample and insisted that I try it. It really is pretty and it shades nicely on a lot of papers.

Okay - here are a couple of sheets of green inks. I hope that these images are not too big. I do my ink tests using a Morriset Dip Pen fine nib (getting the idea from Thomas Hall) and a Pilot Parallel 6mm nib done in one, two and three passes to better show shading and such. I use Maruman Mnemosyne Word Cards and (as shown here) Rhodia Dot Grid. I'm still relatively new to this, so I am more than interested in getting feedback on my methods. These pages were done in a quick and easy scan on a Xerox copier, so they are not as high a quality as I would like. At some future date when time is more plentiful, I may go back and rescan on a better flatbed scanner and do color-correction. Anyhow, here is the first one:fpn_1453302505__greens1.jpg

Current Daily Carry: Pilot Custom 743 with 14k Posting nib (Sailor Kiwa-Guro), Sailor 1911L Realo Champagne with 21k Extra Fine nib (Sailor Tokiwa-Matsu).

      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
