Kwz Ink Grey Lux

[lgsoltek]

KWZI Grey Lux is a rather wet and smooth... brown ink. Yep. It doesn't look grey in any way to my eyes. For me this colour is brown. Or as Wikipedia might put it, a taupe (which is defined as "dark brown color between brown and grey"). Sorry, as much as it is wet and smooth, this colour reminds me too much of moles (the animal) for me to like it.

 

I should also note that the colour I got here doesn't quite match the more properly grey colour in Visvamitra's review, but this brownish colour matches the official swab from KWZI's facebook page.

Ripe avocado...

 

Thanks for the review, interesting color, greyish brown, brownish grey. I don´t have it otherwise i would make a chromo. Some KWZ inks I have are composed with quit a lot of colors.

This one is! There's brown, grey, green, cyan...

 

And right, if I think of this colour as ripe avocado it looks less disgusting (than moles)...

Yummy... I like what I see. I just love greys that lean towards other colours. On my wish list now!

Nope, the wrong Food ! (I meant Aubergine all along and had thought instantly of De A's and R&K's; have now corrected Post #2, o' course)

Nice review! Thank you for taking the time to do this. I like grey inks, but not this one. I'll pass.

A sample I recently bought matches your experience very well. Very dark brown, somewhere between black, brown and grey. Not bad, and the typical fantastic KWZ behaviour, but also not the colour I expected after scouring reviews, indeed also Vis', online.

On my screen, this ink looks very much like Rohrer & Klingner Sepia.

Another Lgsoltek / Tas - Ying & Yang. I'm loving this. Never bought it originally as I'd decided Lexington Grey was THE grey, however this has my name written all over it. :wub:

Thank you.

Tas, you do love the grey inks.

On the photographs it looks “warm gray” in writing and brown in the large swabs. Not my kind of color, but interesting. I’m in the KWZ ink fan club too

I'm picky about my greys. This just looks like a bad black ink instead of a gray. A good example of a dark gray would be something like Birmingham tarnished nickel. It's dark, but there's a lot going on.
