Noodler's Colorado Spruce 2016 Le

[white_lotus]

At the 2016 Colorado Pen Show, Noodler's presented a show exclusive "Colorado Spruce". Anderson Pens acquired whatever stock remained and that is how I obtained a bottle. The ink sold out quickly and is now unobtanium. So this is for historical reference only.

 

This is a rich dark green, fairly muted, but not like KWZ Foggy Green or Rotten Green. Distinctly green though fairly dark, so it's not like Sailor Miruai or BB Dandyism. Has perfectly decent flow and handling, some shading, and some show through on papers that don't have that as an issue. It wasn't a real problem, but bears mentioning as it could be paper dependent.

 

I like the ink.

 

The usual papers: MvL=Mohawk via Linen, TR=Tomoe River, Hij=Hammermill 28 lb inkjet.

 

The images of the ink itself look reasonably accurate, but the paper colors, well those are certainly off.

 

 

Not sure if this angled shot shows anything worthwhile.

 

 

Quite shady on TR.

 

Not very water resistant, but the washing with clean water seemed to leave more ink behind.

A lovely dark green.

I was fortunate enough to purchase a bottle from Pendemonium when they attended the CO Pen Show

Thank you for the review

Is this available anywhere?

Ahh.... the perfect spruce. A dark green (to say the least) but with exactly the right pitch of blue, reminiscent (but by no means a copy) of White Forest...........................................
