guess the ink!

[Yazeh]

Kyo-no-oto Koke-iro?
Pennonia Zöldike Greenfinch?

[Yazeh]

Ferris Wheel Press Goose Poupon Ink?
Papier Plume Moss Green?
Robert Oster Crocodile Green/ Vert de Rio?

[Yazeh]

Love the sketch btw

[mizgeorge]

None of the above (though I like all of them, and absolutely love a couple!)

And thank you both for being nice about a very quick and dirty sketch

[DrPenfection]

since I have been writing with it today . . .

Sailor Manyo Ukikusa

[mizgeorge]

Beautiful, beautiful ink, but not this one

[DrPenfection]

So let's try

GvFC Olive Green
or maybe
PenBBS #342 Matcha Ice Cream (sounds good about now)
or maybe
KWZ Green Gold 2

[DrPenfection]

a few others for consideration -

PenBBS 159 Bitter Herb
Kobe 43 - Fresh Green
Robert Oster Jade

[mizgeorge]

Some very creative guesses there!!

It isn't any of them, and it isn't a Chinese ink

[thi]

I really thought the Dr. had it! (with Manyo Ukikusa)

Ok then...
Kobe #19 Minatogawa Lime
I've seen this one showing a lot of range in different pens and on different papers, so I'll throw it in there too: Vinta Sea Kelp Leyte 1944

[DrPenfection]

what about

Vinta Sea Kelp Leyte 1944
or
Noodler's Army Green
of perhaps
Noodler's El Lawrence (although I haven't seen any reviews on this)
or perhaps
Robert Oster Avocado

[DrPenfection]

How about J. Herbin Vert Olive?

[mizgeorge]

Great minds are thinking alike - but it's not Sea Kelp
Kobe 19 is much greener (and actually gorgeouser)
I don't have any Noodlers inks, so it's not either of those!
And not Avocado (which I was using yesterday, funnily enough) and has more interesting shading.


Edited to add, it's not a Herbin ink.

I have given you some clues - that should make it a bit easier!

[DrPenfection]

Montblanc Homage to Kipling (since your quote if from him.)

[DrPenfection]

Troublemakers Kelp Tea

[mizgeorge]

Not Montblanc Jungle - one of my favourite inks, and much, much less yellow than this one.
And of course that would just a little bit too obvious...

Not kelp tea, which is lighter and browner (or my bottle is anyway, I know they do vary a little from batch to batch).

[DrPenfection]

You mentioned that it is not a Chinese ink. Without getting into a political discussion, does this include Taiwan.

If not, could it be

Lennon Tool Bar Muzha Tieguanyin Tea?

Your sketch reminds me of tea fields.

[DrPenfection]

A couple more =

Robert Oster Australis Tea

Robert Oster Saguaro Green

Kobe #34 (or 28)
or
Callifolio Olivastre

[mizgeorge]

Not political at all - it's also not a Taiwanese ink

Have you tried Australis Tea - if not - I highly recommend it - it's the most beautiful colour - yellower than Jade or Avocado with fantastic shading. This is not it, however I haven't tried Saguaro (I think it's a Pen Chalet exclusive), but it does look quite like 'my' ink, so it isn't that.

It's not a Japanese ink (there - that's loads ruled out!) However, both Sorakuen Tea Green and Lily of the Valley would have been too dark and green.

It's not Olivastre, which is less yellow, as well as being darker.

[mizgeorge]

I should add that you've made a brilliant spot - my sketch is of an area noted for tea growing. Big clue. Huge, in fact
