Inks to match green pens

[Rachael]

Which diamine shimmering ink is the closest match to the Lamy BlueGreen pen?

I’m guessing maybe magical forest or peacock flare or spearmint diva or enchanted ocean or tropical glow.

I want to buy only one of these inks and want it to be the one that looks most like the pen.

Attached is a photo of another excellent match - TWSBI Prussian Blue with Kyo No Oto Hisoku. That’s the kind of match I’m after.

Also does the Lamy turmaline match any of those inks well?

Thanks for any tips...

Qual tinta brilhante diamina é a mais próxima da caneta Lamy BlueGreen?

Estou supondo que talvez seja floresta mágica ou labareda de pavão ou diva de hortelã ou oceano encantado ou brilho tropical.

Quero comprar apenas uma dessas tintas e quero que seja a que mais se parece com a caneta.

Em anexo está uma foto de outra combinação excelente - TWSBI Prussian Blue com Kyo No Oto Hisoku. Esse é o tipo de combinação que procuro.

Também a turmalina Lamy combina bem com qualquer uma dessas tintas?

Obrigado por qualquer dica ...

 

Hi Rachael, welcome, do you know Dianine Delamere Green ink?

I believe it can meet your expectations! It also has the advantage of being offered in the 30 ml bottle. There are some stores that sell smaller quantities of paint as a test sample, it is worth the effort to search until you find your paint!

I am sure that there will be several contributions from FPN members.

@Switala thanks for your prompt reply. I am especially interested in one of the shimmering inks - sparkles for the festive season. I am getting some samples from Goulet but unfortunately they don’t have all of the greens.

@Switala Obrigado por sua pronta resposta. Estou especialmente interessado em uma das tintas brilhantes - brilhos para a época festiva. Estou pegando algumas amostras de Goulet, mas infelizmente eles não têm todos os verdes.

Brilliant would be Olivine from Pelikan brand Edelstein, sparkling, you can find some Herbin and Diamine itself, but I don't remember the names of the colors.

Welcome Rachel, lots of things to see here. Just ordered this green from Tasmania. Small ink company called Van Dieman's". Due next week here in Motueka. I really like the green range because I live near the Abel Tasman and the native bush is at the bottom of the garden.

Good to have you with us,

Cheers, Gary from Mot.

Hey again Rachel, I just checked my inks and my most shimmery blue/green at the moment is J. Herbin, Vert Atlantide. Not sure how much shimmer will show with such a fine nib but it really get some sheen going with a 1.1mm nib. That is usually available at our favourite pen/ink shop in Whanganui. Cheers, Gary

Worth looking into inks sold as "teal" too, for a bluey green.

Try Diamine Peacock Flare - it's a little darker than Tropical Glow, but has plenty of shimmer and would be a very good colour match from what I can see of the pen. 

 

The other great match with shimmer and sheen would, I think, be Robert Oster Crystal Marine.

I have to admit that the idea of a green ink in a green pen hadn't crossed my mind until this thread came up despite green being my favourite colour.  Now, that you've put the idea in my mind, I've short listed three greens to try.  Delemere Green is at the top of the list.

I really struggle to put anything except green ink into a green pen - in fact, my biggest problem is always what colour to use in light coloured pens where the 'matching' ink might be too pale to be legible. That's where colour theory starts to come into play! 

 

Now you have to show us your green pens

No worries.  That will happen after my planned next green pen purchase next month.

Tenho que admitir que a ideia de uma tinta verde em uma caneta verde não tinha passado pela minha cabeça até que esse segmento surgiu, apesar de verde ser minha cor favorita. Agora que você colocou a ideia em minha mente, fiz uma lista resumida de três verduras para tentar. Delemere Green está no topo da lista.

I am happy to have helped to bring a new look to your pens and inks.

These combinations are always a lot of fun.
