Noodler's (Swishmix) Tahitian Pearl

[QM2]

Legal Lapis is darker and greener. In the above swabs, Tahitian Pearl is less saturated than either Navy or Squeteague.

 

I haven't tried Tahitian Pearl, but I have the other three.

 

No-no, it is the other way around: Tahitian Pearl is considerably darker than Legal Lapis. Both are equally green, the Swisher's scan is not representative of what TP actually looks like. (I have both inks.)

QM2, ahh, thanks for the clarification. In turn, LL is darker than Navy and Squeteague.

I don't think anything creeps quite like Legal Lapis!

 

FPN Galileo Brown. It is very creepy. And it makes a Japanese fine point write like a German fine point. And it clogged up my wife's pen. But it's preeeetty.

 

That's true. I have found brown inks in general to make my pens dry out quicker than normal (based on a sample of only FPN GMB and Levenger cocoa). It's also true that GMB covers the whole nib of the Kultur I had it in. I need to find a pen that handles that ink better because you are right that it's lovely.

Tahitian Pearl creeps.

If any of you disappointed folks still have bottles of this stuff sitting around, send me a PM! I'd gladly take it off your hands!

Send a message to Nathan, maybe if there is enough interest he could make more.

I wonder what happens with orphaned inks? I liked this shade too.

Conceivably, since Swisher's is no more, it could simply be added to the regular Noodler's line. I assume, from the volume of posts on Tahitian Pearl vs. the other Swisher inks over the years, that it was one of the more popular of the Swisher exclusives. I know I wish I'd picked up a bottle when it was still available.
