And from Mishka, which is why you should go to the green thread.

My go to green is Montblanc Irish Green. I also love Sailor Yama-dori it's sort of green, sort of not.

Oooh - green is my favourite colour. Was disappointed with EdC, as it was more teal. I have the same green demonstrator - love the electro green.

 

As was previously mentioned, Lamy Neon Lime isn't very visible alone. Lamy Green is kinda lame. But the two together are splendid, imo. I did a 2:1 (Neon Lime:Green) and it was fun. You may find a different ratio more to your taste. But I definitely commend having both colours for anyone who uses Lamy ink. If you also have Lamy Blue, you can really play

 

I posted pics of my demonstrator and a writing sample using this 2:1 ratio over in the PIF/ Group Buy forum under Ranga 5 Group Buy. Hope it helps in your quest

Mine is Private Reserve avocado as well.

 

Not sure why they used they name avocado, I don't see any resemblance in color to an avocado.

Of course there are many muddy-green lovers on this forum! If you like that too then R&K Alt-goldgrun, Montblanc Defoe, Sailor Tokiwa-matsu, Sailor Tanna japonensis, Standardgraph Schilfgrun... and many more.

Very nice options for muddy, earthy greens, but if I may add KWZ Ink Green Gold (not to be confused with Green Gold #2) to your list. It's an indelicate green with great shade, good performance, trouble free and its yet to raise eyebrows at work.

Waterman Harmonious Green ... a well-behaved ink with lovely shading.

I saw the pen and also thought of Hofkewartier Green from Akkerman- it is that kind of bright green, and certainly eye-catching! I also like PR Avocado (Avacado? Whichever) though I wish it wouldn't gunk up my nibs so much. Tokiwa-Matsu is gorgeous, too, with nice shading, though I probably wouldn't put it in that pen. I think my personal favorite green is Noodlers' Green Marine, though. It probably leans a bit blue for some people's tastes, but I love it.

I don't much like greens, but the classic vintage Quink Emerald. Also, I am not sure whether you want to classify it as a green or brown... As it can can be both based on the nib, but Pen and Message Cigar.

_{Lierre Sauvage in French is "wild ivy." It's an elegant green.}

My go to green (mid-range, bright and cheerful) is Pelikan Edelstein Aventurine.

[Runnin_Ute]

Diamine Sherwood Green for a good green that is dark enough to use in a professional setting

 

I have a sample of PR Sherwood Green and it is nice too, but very different than the Diamine version. Seems brighter to me. Of course I have it in an Estie with a 9550 (ef) nib, the Diamine is in a True Writer with a fine.

 

If you can lay your hands on some, Blackstone Green Cashmere is a nice dark almost mossy color. (some would call it a green/black)

Montblanc Irish Green is my favourite green ink. I use it daily to write.

[Notgatherox]

Pelikan Edelstein Jade - fun and bright green to use.

Waterman (Harmonious) Green

Parker Penman Emerald

Montblanc Irish Green

 

I use Waterman Green most often.

Parker Penman Emerald

I think the pen is attractive, by the way. I like dark greens like Miruai, but I think that pen needs more of a spring grass green, and I don't know anything about them. Good luck.

My favourite green (although I haven't tried Montblanc Irish Green) is Graf von Faber Castell Moss Green. Nicely saturated colour of deep forest, dark but lively, very nice, although a bit pricey. I don't think it would be the best match for the pen, though, if you want to find something that would be similar in colour.

DeArtramentis Green/Black for me

I don't think I have seen a sample of this ink. Are you able to post one as it sounds like a colour I am interested in. I have diamond green black but I am hoping the DeA is a tad darker...

That's exactly what I was going to write!
