All entries done by custom pen with Jowo #6 steel fine nib, except Lamy Green (this one was done with Lamy Studio with medium nib). And here is my favorite pen for ink testing:

Great comparison, thank you! Especially for typing out the ink names for easy searching!

[Sailor Kenshin]

Thanks for the wonderful comparison. I've always suspected that Skrip Green was actually blue.

[ENewton]

A valuable comparison. Thank you.

[white_lotus]

Thanks for the comparison. I don't have most of these inks. And the ones I do have appear similar, yet different, to what you show. Pens and their flow really make a difference.

[nibtip]

Thanks a lot. Very useful comparison.

I am much in green ink lately. Slowly drifting toward grey-green. Kipling, Vert empire, Jane Austen, Urahairo amongst others.

[Eclipse157]

Thank you, so many inks, very useful.

[lapis]

Thanks for this all-encompassing collection of greens. And as noted in post #2, also for your typing out the ink names!!

[namrehsnoom]

Very useful, thank you. I found at least one ink I now just must have... Rohrer & Klingon Alt-Goldgrün... simply looks gorgeous.

Very useful, thank you. I found at least one ink I now just must have... Rohrer & Klingon Alt-Goldgrün... simply looks gorgeous.

 

I love this ink in wet nibs, gorgeous shading! Comparison was prepared for my personal use, I tried to find something similar to Kobe #34, my favorite semi-rotten green (it is hard to find a bottle of this ink, not to mention the price...). When this comparison grew to ridiculous size I thought about sharing with my ink-journey I'm in the middle of creating another set, still looking for good substitute to Kobe #34.

[DrDebG]

Thank you for providing this great comparison!

[penzel_washinkton]

"Some" is an understatement.

Appreciate the enormous effort in compiling these ink comparison.

[Karmachanic]

Thank you. Just yesterday I decided I need a green to contrast with orangey yellow/amber. This is a very helpful reference.

[minddance]

Thank you for the comparison!

[Jared]

Very nice. I do love green inks. Reading that MI6 boss Sir John Scarlett signs in green ink only makes it more interesting.

[ddntp]

"Green" ink have a wide spectrum of colors. One is more "green" than other, depending from personal taste to manufacturers description... Sheaffer Skrip Green for me is a blue ink. Recently I bought a bottle of ink from Czech Republic - Inkebara Deer Brown, which is deep rotten green color for me (something between Diamine Safari and Sailor Rikyu-cha). Ink name can be quite confusing.

That's the best approach! There's no point in expending your own resources to discover information that does not interest you personally. The magnitude of effort you put into this comparison exercise is no doubt commensurate with what you think it's worth to you; thank you for sharing the valuable output with everyone all the same.

Thanks for the great effort. I happen to be looking for a green so this is right on time.

[GardenWeasel]

Wonderful comparison! Thanks!

Thanks so much !
