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

And from Mishka, which is why you should go to the green thread.

Oooh - green is my favourite colour. Was disappointed with EdC, as it was more teal. I have the same green demonstrator - love the electro green.

 

As was previously mentioned, Lamy Neon Lime isn't very visible alone. Lamy Green is kinda lame. But the two together are splendid, imo. I did a 2:1 (Neon Lime:Green) and it was fun. You may find a different ratio more to your taste. But I definitely commend having both colours for anyone who uses Lamy ink. If you also have Lamy Blue, you can really play :)

 

I posted pics of my demonstrator and a writing sample using this 2:1 ratio over in the PIF/ Group Buy forum under Ranga 5 Group Buy. Hope it helps in your quest :)

KEEP CALM AND BOOGIE ON!

Mine is Private Reserve avocado as well.

 

Not sure why they used they name avocado, I don't see any resemblance in color to an avocado.

Of course there are many muddy-green lovers on this forum! If you like that too then R&K Alt-goldgrun, Montblanc Defoe, Sailor Tokiwa-matsu, Sailor Tanna japonensis, Standardgraph Schilfgrun... and many more.

Very nice options for muddy, earthy greens, but if I may add KWZ Ink Green Gold (not to be confused with Green Gold #2) to your list. It's an indelicate green with great shade, good performance, trouble free and its yet to raise eyebrows at work.

Ink, a drug.

Waterman Harmonious Green ... a well-behaved ink with lovely shading.

I saw the pen and also thought of Hofkewartier Green from Akkerman- it is that kind of bright green, and certainly eye-catching! I also like PR Avocado (Avacado? Whichever) though I wish it wouldn't gunk up my nibs so much. Tokiwa-Matsu is gorgeous, too, with nice shading, though I probably wouldn't put it in that pen. I think my personal favorite green is Noodlers' Green Marine, though. It probably leans a bit blue for some people's tastes, but I love it.

I don't much like greens, but the classic vintage Quink Emerald. Also, I am not sure whether you want to classify it as a green or brown... As it can can be both based on the nib, but Pen and Message Cigar.

Diamine Sherwood Green for a good green that is dark enough to use in a professional setting

 

I have a sample of PR Sherwood Green and it is nice too, but very different than the Diamine version. Seems brighter to me. Of course I have it in an Estie with a 9550 (ef) nib, the Diamine is in a True Writer with a fine.

 

If you can lay your hands on some, Blackstone Green Cashmere is a nice dark almost mossy color. (some would call it a green/black)

Pelikan Edelstein Jade - fun and bright green to use.

A sincere man am I
From the land where palm trees grow,
And I want before I die
My soul's verses to bestow.
 
All those moments will be lost in time.
Like tears in rain.
Time to die.

I think the pen is attractive, by the way. I like dark greens like Miruai, but I think that pen needs more of a spring grass green, and I don't know anything about them. Good luck.

My favourite green (although I haven't tried Montblanc Irish Green) is Graf von Faber Castell Moss Green. Nicely saturated colour of deep forest, dark but lively, very nice, although a bit pricey. I don't think it would be the best match for the pen, though, if you want to find something that would be similar in colour.

DeArtramentis Green/Black for me

I don't think I have seen a sample of this ink. Are you able to post one as it sounds like a colour I am interested in. I have diamond green black but I am hoping the DeA is a tad darker... :)

That's exactly what I was going to write! :D

      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
