I quite like that Mallard Green It's very much more green than Racing Green.
I always called MBRG black with the merest hint of green if you squint and hold it up in bright sunlight.

Wow! That broad CI looks like a lot of fun. Think I will have to grab one for my next FC pen (currently my favourite independent maker), probably a model 02 Intrinsic.
That ink reminds me of a paler version of Diamine Classic Green. I quite like it.
I also like that Mabbie Todd ink bottle. Is that an old one?
Their main website seems to be down at the moment, but these are they:

I have a number of them, and I don't know who makes them, but they're very nice inks to use - the green and the magpie (blue black) are particularly good IMO. The one thing I don't really like is their use of the Mabie Todd name - I understand they bought the rights to it without having any connection to the original company.
I have genuine MBRG in my ca. '48 Sheaffer Sentinel DeLuxe Vac-Fill with green striated barrel. The last of my faux Racing Green is gone, and I must mix another batch from the three MB ingredients. See: https://fpgeeks.com/forum/showthread...cing-Green-ink

It’s so hard to tell from a computer screen - my first impression is that Mallard Green is a cooler shade, but when I look more closely, I see olive. Now I’m wondering if I mix a cool green and a warm yellow/gold, would I get a similar shade? It would certainly make an olive shade. I have a range of blues and golds in Robert Oster and Iroshizuku, maybe I will try. Also, adding red ink to green will neutralize it and gray it down.
