Diamine Delamere Green

[saskia_madding]

I've been looking for a deep, rich green that I can use when I'm not in the mood to handle PR Sherwood's temperamental tantrums.

I've come to really love this colour, and have since bought a bottle form Nordic Pens. The shading on CF & Rhodia paper is great.

But even on more absorbent papers, the shading remains impressive.

No bleedthrough, though there in some shadowing. On CF and Rhodia paper, you can easily write on both sides though.

As usual, more images in my here.

It's difficult to tell... But it looks like a green/black. Is it? Or is it just a very dark green?

[saskia_madding]

Just a dark green. No black to be seen.

This looks just like the Diamine Sherwood Green I have; really similar. Very nice though but I don't need the two colours. Good review.

Nice shading, but a bit bluer than I'd like. For now I'm happy with MB Irish Green, but there are occasions where I've longed for a darker green.

I had missed this when indexing, and just found it now. I guess it was a good thing I have to update all my photo links, since I've found two reviews that got left off the index and fell into obscurity.

 

So here's to one of my favourite greens. You rock, Delamere!

I love this green, too!

I'm a fan too.

A favorite of mine also.

I had a 30 ml bottle of each ink and I mixed them into an old 45 ml Aurora ink bottle about 70/30 Sherwood/Delamere and the shading results were amazing; the color more or less stayed the same.

OOOOooooooooo ... that sounds amazing! Do you have any pictures?

[seanruss]

that is a very nice looking green, i'm going to ad it to my wish list! I guess 52 bottles of ink isn't enough.

Funny Goulet doesn't seem to carry this color

There is no "enough" when it comes to inks. I will back you on that until my dying day.
