Seitz-Kreuznach Palm Green

[Cyber6]

There is a NEW Ink Player out there. Seitz-Kreuznach is offering good value for their ink. In summary:

 

• Most of them are medium-wet
• Decent water resistance
• Colors are vibrant.. except Flamingo Pink
• Warning: with a broad wet pen, you WILL get show through and some bleed through

 

 

 

Water Test (20 seconds under running water)

Not my color.

Is that Rhodia paper? I'm surprised that it still bleeds on that.

 

Color for this is quite nice! If the scan is anything like the real thing, then I would consider getting a bottle. I love greens.

[Cyber6]

No.. is not Rhodia.. is Fabriano (Italian)... which it used to be good, but I am finding that last batch of notebooks more prone to bleeding.

 

Think of it as just "OK" paper. My pen is really wet... so no surprises with some bleed.

I see. I saw the dot grid and immediately jumped to Rhodia. Rookie mistake.

Yikes, is that what it looks like in real life? I might have to get my eyes adjusted because that doesn't look green at all to me!

What color does it look to you?.. Post a sample if needed.

Very aqua or turquoise. Not too far from Sheaffer Scrip Turquoise, actually. I can kind of see a green tinge to it if I look from the bottom of my monitor, though. Definitely interesting.

Same here.

 

I don't recognize the Palm green I have. Which has a little of blue, yes but not at all that light.

I love palm trees. Here in LV, we have lots of palm trees. My father farmed palm trees, and that's how he paid for me to go to college. That's not the color of any palm tree out here. Sigh.

 

Here is my smallest palm tree for a comparison.

I agree with the above statements. This looks turquoise to me, and photoshop color picker agrees.

Here is a crop of your image with color matched to Pantone Palm Green.

Unfortunately, yours seems to be the only image available for this color. The company's promotional material shows this as a retina-searing emerald. Weird.

Light teal, to my eye.

I love the Fabriano Ecoqua paper. Too bad in comes in those terrible glue-bound pads and the blank sheets are only available staplebound... I'm sad to hear the quality has declined.

So Claudia, which is it? The turquoise or the yellowish green that actually looks like a palm tree color?

[J85909266]

I don't think any of them look right. I drive to Florida all the time. I see plenty of palm trees. They are generally the same vibrant, pure green of fresh, healthy grass.

The yellow-green is a photoshop effect. Jason is matching to Pantone Palm Green.

 

 

Hopefully this will be useful....

 

[amberleadavis]

WOW what a comparison. Thank you.

So, that looks right to me. Wow, the takeaway may be that Seitz-Kreuznach is just really bad at naming inks. I'm looking at you, too, Tomato Red. Thanks again for the great comparison, C.

Well.. I have been doing the inky thing for a while and have learnt to be very forgiving of names... My biggest peeve is all those blues that are actually PURPLE..

 

If you think about it, how many palm trees are in Austria ??.. ...

I just filled a pen with this and find the color the same as posted here, but a shade or two darker. It's as teal as teal can be. Not the color of palms, unless you count the artificial ones that people leave at the curb.

 

I'm trying to like this color; the fact that it behaves well and shades generously is helping. Whoever chose the bottle design was not thinking about the fact that people may want to fill a pen from it - or just didn't care.

 

Amber, even though they call it Sago Palm, it's a cycad (dinosaur food). A moot point though, since many palms are about the same color.
