I present to test the ink De Atramentis Cement Grey, who probably had to be gray, and it is more green with a touch of gray. Like most inks De Atramentis has good characteristics and drying time. Color presented reminds me a bit of ink Private Reserve Grey Flannel, with that here added a little more green. I like the gray ink, but with the addition of more blue than green. Despite this, I recommend!

Thanks for the review. I have really liked most of the De Atramentis inks I've tried, and Tchaikowsky/Silver Grey is a favorite.

Thanks for the great review. This is a favorite of mine under the Charles Dickens label; hadn't realized they were the same color. You'd think the "Color: Cement Grey" line on the label would have been a tip off, but I guess I didn't get past Dicken's portrait.

i really like this color. i'm a big fan of grey inks, and it is dark enough to qualify as a good everyday writing grey.

Thanks for the review. It's an interesting colour that reminds me of Diamine Graphite. I think I'll give it a try for note-taking.

Wow, you have been busy!

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).
