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

My perfect green is Diamine Sherwood. It goes down nearly green-black, but in a day or two, it brightens up to a nice forest green only slightly darker than Noodler's Gruene Eel. I love it. If it was clearly lighter, I probably would only use it for markup.

In addition to Goulet and WonderPens, you might try Anderson Pens. Shop their samples, because that's where they post swabs. I wish they also did when browsing bottles, but they don't. And they have 600 or more inks to choose from.

It has to be this: Akkerman Hofkwartier Groen.

Yes! I thought it was a bit too cold/blue for me, so I got #27 Bezuidenwoudgoen instead, but that was gorgeous.

Brilliant! That should be made into a poster. Have you done the other seasons?

WOW!! I WANT!!

Ha. I did not need to see that. I love greens more than anything else. That is lovely. The original poster mentioned Kelly Green. I do have it, and like it very much. It is not too light for me. Some other ones were, but not Kelly Green. The best thing you can do is get SAMPLES. I also have Sailor-Tokiwa matsu, Miruai, R&K Alt goldgrun, plus Edelstein Jade. The Jade seems to have a greenish blue tint to it, so you may not like that one. I also love the Mont Blanc Irish Green, but you already have that. I don't have it, but hope to get it in the future. Another one to consider is Pelikan 4001 Dark Green, or Diamine Sherwood Green.

      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
