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:

I like the Glassmith. And the quote.

      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
