Latest comparison of my green and teal tones due to recent acquisition of Lamy Amazonite. 

Look at how blue-ish it appears next to the nice middle way turquoise of Diamine Steel Blue and especially in comparison to green tones such as Rohrer and Klingner Verdura.

Don't know if I should include Herbin's Gris or not..

Beautiful comparison.  How do the side comparisons line up?

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

Oh, the real comparison is on the left. The right column is just me messing around and playing "guess the ink" from the left column. 

 

Here, Lamy Amazonite, latest addition Herbin Vert de Gris for @essayfaire, Diamine Salamander, Diamine Steel Blue, and Rohrer Verdigris.

First is the scan fresh out of the scanner, second is color corrected to make it as close as possible to what I see on the page.

The name Vert de Gris is misleading by the way. Vert means green, but the chromatography reveals mostly gray and light blue.

Interestingly, the light blue washes away immediately but the gray is unbothered. Thinking of conducting performance tests on correspondence envelopes.

I think this is why I ended up preferring the R and K.  The Teal looks not only lighter but brighter than the others, but I can't tell if that's just the picture.

A quick note in response to a lovely Amberlea post.  Two teal inks, and one full-on green:

      Thanks for the info (I only used B&W film and learned to process that).   Boy -- the stuff I learn here!  Just continually astounded at the depth and breadth of knowledge in this community! Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth

It just wasn't likely to have been Kodachrome.  It would have been the films I referred to as "other color films." (Kodachrome is not a generic term for color film. It is a specific film that produces transparencies, or slides, by a process not used for any other film. There are other color trans

      @Ceilidh -- Well, I knew people who were photography majors in college, and I'm pretty sure that at least some of them were doing photos in color, not just B&W like I learned to process.  Whether they were doing the processing of the film themselves in one of the darkrooms, or sending their stuff out to be processed commercially?  That I don't actually know, but had always assumed that they were processing their own film.

      Kodachrome 25 was the most accurate film for clinical photography and was used by dermatologists everywhere. I got magnificent results with a Nikon F2 and a MicroNikkor 60 mm lens, using a manually calibrated small flash on a bracket. I wish there were a filter called "Kodachrome 25 color balance" on my iPhone camera.
