On Robert Oster's shop website Green Olive is described as follows: "This unique shade is so lifelike. Like a Green Olive bathing in a Martini. Flows on light Green, dries on bright Olive." Well I prefer greener olives and I dislike the color. The ink has decent flow and rather good saturation. It's not water resistant.

Thanks for the review. This one's not for me.

I love this colour. It looks really like olives.

It reminds me of Kyonooto Yamabukiiro.

I might have not called it "Green Olive"... Maybe Rustic Gold.. :lol: :lol:

My first thought was that this is a Cyber6 color. I'm surprised to learn that it is not a Vis color - I will get better with my color identifications. Thank you, Vis and Thank you Cyber6 for enabling.

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

The first few times I tried this ink I found it pale and unsatisfactory although having the somewhat yellow hue I expected. I was nearing the point of giving it away, possibly to a drain, when I tried putting it into one of my wettest pens, the Onoto 21 with No.15 nib. The result was very satisfying. Now, the colour looked more as it says on the label, a clear green-olive, firm on the page and useable rather than irritatingly pale and wan. It was similar if not so drastic with Yellow Sunset, needing a fairly wet line to bring out its colour, and I wonder whether that Claret might also be improved. I have tried it once in a fairly fine Waterman No.2 nib.

 

Regarding one's pens, I can see why people recommend trying a known, classical, well-behaved ink first. I started with a poor opinion of a couple of my purchases before I fed them inks better suited to them; part of my continuing learning.

Thanks for the review. *Definitely* not a color for me. Also, it's really hard to read....

Is this one more yellow than Khaki?

 

 

If you mean Robert Oster Khaki... check the last two inks in the comparison sheet Vis posted above. Like night and day. ;)

      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
