Very nice looking.

A bit too blue for my liking but it does remind me of grass.

I'm really liking this color.... It may have to be one of my first Akkerman inks when i get around to purchasing a bottle.

Glyff, is that a kitty trying to take over the review?

Yes, always!

[amberleadavis]

Yes, thank goodness my current feline owner is solid black.

Oh, so all your furniture is black as well? Because a black kitty won't shed on black, only on other colors (I think there's rules... ). Of course, we have one that's a grey tabby and one that's a dilute tortoiseshell, so ALL furniture is officially Fair Game™....

Back on topic. I had avoided this ink up to this point on the grounds of it maybe being too green. But seeing the scans I'm starting to rethink. Thanks for the review gylyf. And, well, not....

I like this color and I'll bet some money that it's, in reality, rebottled Diamine Umber.

I'm not convinced they are, vis. Groenmarkt Smaragd on the left, Umber on the right. Although, my bottle of Umber is pretty old, so the color may have shifted.

Don't you want to dye him/her into neon pink?

Here's part of the review I've made few years ago:

Compelling case.

You make a compelling case.
