guess the ink!

P.W.Akkerman Hofkwartier Groen?

Very close, but the mystery ink is a little darker I think.

[datainadequate]

Well guessed, Data. Must say it's one of those colours that makes me think "mmm, nice" and then I remind myself I'd probably never use it. But still, mmm...

I thought much the same thing. Maybe I should just get samples of these fun inks and use them for writing birthday cards and doing calligraphy

Now for your challenge, and in recognition of the quote, Diamine Kelly Green?

Congratulations, exactly right!

I'm not a bright green ink lover, but for Diamine Sherwood Green and Kelly Green..... I make an exception.

I thought I recognised its cheery tone; a former inmate of the ink cellar here at the burrow, inexplicably not replaced when finished.

I shall break out a flagon of something inky and return anon.

I have become rather fond of the Platinum green cartridges, thanks to a green Preppy. Kelly Green was a conscious attempt to get something "similar but different" for other pens. It will probably feature in my 2017 Spring Collection

Okay, try this one. It's not a bad representation, but perhaps fractionally more "washed out" in real life.

Diamine Kensington Blue?

[Chrissy]

Pilot Iroshizuku Ama iro?

[grainweevil]

Diamine Kensington Blue?

Nope, not that one

Pilot Iroshizuku Ama iro?

'Fraid not, Chrissy - a little too much of a bright light blue to be this mystery ink.

[Pterodactylus]

Diamine Presidential Blue?

[Lady Onogaro]

Okay, try this one. It's not a bad representation, but perhaps fractionally more "washed out" in real life.

Well that's appropriate for this time of year (the play, that is).

[grainweevil]

Diamine Presidential Blue?

Again, it appears to be along the right lines, but it's not that. First clue: It's not a Diamine ink.

Well that's appropriate for this time of year (the play, that is).

My thoughts exactly.

Pilot Iroshizuku Kon-peki?

[notsim]

DeAtramentis Steel Blue?

[grainweevil]

Pilot Iroshizuku Kon-peki?

Nope, too vibrant, and, second clue, it's not a Pilot ink.

DeAtramentis Steel Blue?

Again, no - don't know it, but online samples suggest it's perhaps edging a bit too much towards teal. And third clue, it's not by De Atramentis.

[Chrissy]

Waterman Mysterious Blue?

[grainweevil]

Waterman Mysterious Blue?

An intriguing ink, but it's not a Waterman.

[datainadequate]

J. Herbin Bleu Pervenche?

[Chrissy]

Parker Quink Blue?

[migo984]

I'm not at all sure about this one & I can't decide between a few possibilities.

May we ask whether it's a standard range or LE ink?


Maybe R & K Blau Permanent?
