I've been excited to get to greens for some time now. You most definitely did not disappoint! As with red, there is a difference when it comes to how the color actually looks on the page. Many thanks for making these videos.

Absolutely love the Diamine greens. Green and purple have been my go to colours to journal with for decades, so I have quite the collection of those inks. I find Meadow a really nice bright contrast to their serious darker greens. And the Soft Mint is a much cheaper alternative travelling bottle to Iroshizuku's Ku Jaku (Peacock Green), or Herbin's Diavolo Menthe. It's not as intense as the Ku Jaku but it's waaaaay cheaper! :-)

Many thanks, Phoenix - and I am with you on the Green/Purple combo. I like the colours that are different! And you're definitely right that Diamine is a hell of a lot cheaper than Iroshizuku!

Out of the ones tested here I have Apple Glory, which I love, and Kelly Green, which I really don't like. From your test, I'm sold on Woodland Green too, even though you're not fond of it, so thanks for the comparison.

I think the more I look at them, it's the Meadow that really appeals. Gorgeous colour, nice and understated - but I'm really looking forward to testing all the other greens (seven to go).

Kelly green for me that was a lovely blend of lemon and lime so refreshing!!! Am sucker for all turquoise/teal/Cyan shades so definitely have soft mint type colours with me since we don't get diamine inks here in Pakistan I have two bottle of diamine ink only which I requested some coming from the UK to bring it for me

@@writerlywitterings You might also like Herbin Vert Pré ink. I just discovered it in a sampler pack I got from GouletPens.com in the States, probably more widely available for you. It's much lighter, almost yellow, but on most paper it's really interesting once dry.

That emerald was a shocker. They must've been looking at industrial emeralds. While many of those inks were pretty, I know from experience that I might buy one or two and leave them sitting on the shelf, as in the end, I don't like to write with paler colours. Only the famous Emerald of Chicken tempts me to actually writing, and then only with a dip pen. Thanks for the look.

I like a green-black for every day writing and it's been Faber-Castel Moss Green of late. Some times I love it. Some times I don't. Maybe that Emerald is an option. But ... Maybe it's dull indeed.

@writerlywitterings
3 жыл бұрын
Sorry, I got bored of saying on all the videos! It was a TWSBI Go. It's the best pen for ink testing and comparison because it's very quick to fill, to empty, and to flush clean. Also, I was using the 1.1mm stub nib, which shows off any shading and contrasts to perfection.

Hi , what nib size do you use ?
@writerlywitterings
2 жыл бұрын
It varies every time. I tend not to like fine nibs (although I love the Conway Stewart and Visconti fines). I once had a Pelikan EF, and cannot describe how much I hated it. Usually, I guess, I'd aim for a medium, but I also love B and BB pens. My ink comparisons are almost always based on a 1.1 mm stub from TWSBI.
