I present to test the ink De Atramentis Sahara Grey color olives mixed with old gold. I have to admit, it's quite an interesting color. But writing it refer strange feeling that my eyes lost written text that is noticeable after a few seconds. Very nice shading can be achieved with a nib "F".
As an interesting note, the color is painted in different shades depending on the lighting. It is worth looking him up on a sunny day cloudy and ... in the light bulb. A multitude of colors may be surprised ...

I find it too clear.

 

But sometimes you write Sahara grey and others Sahara gren

[akszugor]

Sahara gren?

My bottle says it's Sahara Grey. It looks green to me, and to everyone else as well.

Yeah, mine looks exactly the same. Really, an olive green with -- if I work hard enough on it -- a half a hint of grey. Second anomaly: My own label says "Saharagraun" (grau being the German word for grey [british] or gray [American]) although the label on the net says "Saharagrau". That's okay since it (the German name) is the usual shot of a label to be seen on both the English and the German version on your monitor.

Now for the punch line: maybe my label was intended to mean a hybrid between Sahara Grey and Sahara Green? In any case, I myself do like this ink!

Interesting.

Would you mind doing a comparison to Alt Goldgrun?

Thank you, I couldn't see the images in the first post.

Such a light color, I imagine I would have difficulty reading it.
