This may not be waterproof, but it is fade resistant.

Thank you very much, amberleadavis! This is fantastic! :D

 

I let my eyes float over the swatches, and Noodler's Navy stood out to me, followed by Bad Belted Kingfisher. Tsuki-yo is also very nice. Manhattan Blue, too, but not as much as the others... but Art Brown's closed. I should've picked up a bottle, even if just to have it - I was there on the last day, for chrissake :wallbash: Ku-Jahn is a teeny bit green for me. I wonder how BBK and Navy behave in a Custom 823? Tsuki-yo would probably be just at home in it, being from the same brand. Just enough water resistance to be salvageable if water hits is fine with me, even if "salvageable" happens to be faint traces of what's left of the ink delineating letters after an (improbable) accident.

Yet another vote for Noodler's Legal Lapis. Ordinarily I don't buy backup bottles of ink as I figure using an ink completely gives an opportunity to try something similar.

 

BUT, I have a backup bottle of Legal Lapis. You could E-mail Pendemonium to see whether they will ship.

I love Iroshizuku's Ku-Jaku. It is the perfect teal for me. This is one of my all time favorite inks. It is well behaved in all pens and shades and has sheen. I have at least one pen inked with this color at all times and I can't say that for any other ink that I have. Cheers!

For dark : Tsuki-Yo - my go-to blue/black/green

 

I don't think that I have anything inked with at at the moment though :/

 

I find Ku-Jaku a bit ... harsh. As an attorney, I want something that has "weightiness" to it (though, oddly enough, I have a bottle of Tsuyu-Kusa). I wonder what would happen if you took Ku-Jaku and added a small amount of Take-Sumi to it...

Thank you for this. The colour certainly looks good and one I've tried to obtain before with no success here. It looks as if I will have to see if it can be shipped from the US.

Thank you so much for all your suggestions and help! You are much more organised and efficient then I am. I will check out several if your suggestions. I like the look of Ku-Jahn: I have not seen it before. Thank you so much for taking the trouble to do this.

 

By the way, what are the Fade Olympics?

Greetings Hefty,

 

Without a doubt - I recommend Diamine Twilight.

 

All the best,

 

Sean :)

Bother - I was about to say that! One of my favourites.

 

Well-behaved, good colour and easy/cheap to get in England.

And R&K Verdigris - maybe not as green as you'd like.

Iroshizuku's Tsuki-yo

Diamine Eau de Nil

DeA Steel Blue

DeA Plum

 

I do like DeA Plum, but that ink should definitely have a different name.

I like Iroshizuku's Tsuki-yo, However with fine nibs its lighter coloured, fortunately with my Edison collier in broad, its very dark shading.

+1, I think Tsuki-Yo is a very good choice if one is looking for a dark teal.
