I've been using a long-neglected bottle of Rohrer & Klingner Schreibtinte Verdigris in my mottled hard rubber Mabie-Todd Swan Eternal 44 stub. So, I wanted to see what's what with the color verdigris, and found it appears in a 2014 FPGeek ink review. https://fpgeeks.com/forum/showthread...gner-Verdigris
The Oxford English Dictionary defines verdigris as: A bright bluish-green encrustation or patina formed on copper or brass by atmospheric oxidation, consisting of basic copper carbonate. The Schreibtinte version is a darker version of "bright," yet I like it not being bright.
Pronunciation: vûrˈdĭ-grē, though vûrˈdĭ-grĭs and vûrˈdĭ-grēs are spoken as well. (I only just discovered I'd been using the Americanized (latter) pronunciation.) Check this out: verdigris
I'm on the verge of ignoring my bottles of blue-black in favor of verdigris. It's just a nice change.
