EFNIR: Colorverse Redwood Forest

Extra Fine Nib Ink Review: Colorverse Redwood Forest

This is review #243 in my series. Here's the YouTube video:

Post-recording notes: Cleaning was quick and easy with plain water.  The microscope slide was yawnville.  Errata: "creeped" should be "crept" (but "crept" isn't as reminiscent of "nib creep")...

Zoomed in photo (This seems to have the most accurate color, but the shading is exaggerated.)

Screenshot (Close.  Text may be a little darker than what I see on the paper.)

Scan of Completed Review (Text looks a little too brown and dark - that's what this ink looks like on cream paper, though.)

Absorbent Paper Close-up (top is puzzle paper like thick newsprint, bottom is old 20lb copy paper) (Color is pretty accurate, but text seems a little too dark.)

Line width (One of the lines used for dry time. Magnification is 100x. The grid is 100x100µm. The scale is 330µm, with eleven divisions of 30µm each. The line width for this ink is roughly 319µm. With 243 inks measured, the average line width is 296µm.)

Another great review @LizEF  I love Tuesdays!

I'm not sure if I associate this colour would what I see in a forrest, unless it's a decaying one and even then

Of all the murky greens in inkville, this one seems to belong to yawn city 😛

I wish Quin could mix it with some of that agent orange and make something new out of it! 😛

Perhaps a different sort of forest than you're used to?

It's murky enough that I like it, but not unique enough for me to buy it.

Green + orange is probably a strange brown...

Yep more like a marsh you mean

We should do a test

I'm with @yazeh!  When I think, Redwood Forest, I think RED.  A sort of rust-red.  But I do like the overall color.

 

Since I have one of your comparison inks, R&K Alt Goldgrun, it's close enough for me, even disregarding the Eternal Dry Time!

 

Attack of the Orange Crust has my heart pounding.  Will our Dream Team™️ Make their getaway and save the world?  And do I see evidence of King Klaw's handiwork?

 

Thanks, as ever, to @LizEF for the Tuesday Treat!

Hmm.  I wonder which orange Quin's traversing through...

Yes, this color really doesn't make me think of Redwood trees - not that I've seen one in real life, just photos.  Turns out this is the little bottle in a pair and the large bottle is the tree color, where I guess this is supposed to be the overall green of the forest - but the Colorverse website doesn't explain the color choices...

Oh yes.  We do enjoy out kitten play times, claws and all.

Not really in the realm of green inks that I like (a little too yellow leaning for my taste), but thanks as usual for the comprehensive review.

Thank you @LizEF for progressing the story into a thriller. If I would not had been away I would had been sleepless all the time. I'm sleepless from now on. Thank you! 

Is that orange crust similar to the nib creep of Ancient Copper? (Sorry, I'm always visualising what I read)

 

Unfortunately, this Redwood Forest ink looks like a copy of Alt-Glodgrün with a bit more nasty properties. Probably a no-go this time.

Yep, that's what I had in mind, just spread in a field and more actively creeping / climbing.

The color is closer to Diamine Safari than Alt-Glodgrün - maybe somewhere in between the two.  Anywho, as I mentioned earlier, unless this ink just happens to hit all of someone's buttons, there's not really a compelling reason to get it...  (Maybe if you really like the other color in the set.)

It is and interesting colour

That it is!

[Penguincollector]

This color reminds me of the moss that grows on redwood trunks, and some ferns at times.

Yes, I thought so as well.  Definitely not the color of the tree trunk or bark...
