Classic Green - Diamine

[The Good Captain]

Hey, cool. No doubt it is unique, but always useful to be able to point to other known inks and say "this one is a little <something> than that". Do you think any Diamine is closer to it than Evergreen? Racing Green I guess, which I don't have, and isn't on cybaea's 2013 comprehensive list.

Racing Green was a 'one-off' for Rolf at Missing Pens in Germany. I suspect that once his supply has gone, there won't be any more. Classic Green is quite similar - and available! AND somewhat more water-resistant.

As it happens, I made up the mix for Classic Green. Diamine went for it, and that's the way it is.

When one should look at the sheets of paper with all the swatches I used, then it would be obvious that the colour is 'different'.

Therefore, Classic Green is a unique ink. Hey-ho!

And I thank you for your work! The Writing Desk is sending it to me along with Diamine's "Dark Green" which I did not have. I have enjoyed Mr. Thiel's Racing Green & look forward to seeing them together. There is ALWAYS "room for another GREEN," unless it is REALLY a "blue" & calling itself a GREEN, this year seems to be full of them!

+1... Oh Gosh... you speak the truth...

 

 

I still need me a bottle of this lovely green... but waiting for a few more color before ordering. I might just make a group buy with my Posse here to get it faster..

I do have Rolf's Racing Green... should I still go for Classic Green?

 

 

Can someone compare them side by side ?... Pretty Please ??

This is my new favorite ink!

I bought a set of Diamine inks "for school" (they have the best bottles for school use, heavy glass and broad based!), but the students can have my Tokiwa Matsu and Salamander, I'm keeping this!

Reminds me of the mood I got from Organics Studio "Walt Whitman", a beautiful but unfortunately unusable ink; neither blue nor black but ambiguous, like light filtering through seawater! Inks that read "green" are a bit harsh for me, but this is nicely discrete.

Kobe #49 is the closest I had found previously, a lovely "drab" writing ink that no one will notice, but there is a blue component that comes out in the wash (as Tokiwa Matsu), that makes that one less useful for sketching.

First flush of a new love, but right now I'm very happy!
