Thank you for such an extensive and useful comparison.

Although it is true that a different pen and nib may make a difference, nonetheless this is the type of colour comparison I find most useful, both because of the writing sample and the comparison on the same page.

Swabs are often nice to see but not so useful, when you write, the writing line looks nothing like the swab...

As I almost never use green ink, your comparison is a very fast reference in case I want to choose a colour that may not look "so green" and still good for some more formal type of use.

Admiration also for your patience and tidiness

[Beechwood]

Great comparison

Any standouts in this set?

 

I'm eyeing RO forest green!

If I have to pick up only one, it would be Diamine Classcic Green (I'm a murky-green enthusiast 😉). Good flow, pleasant nib lubrication, no bleeding or feathering on poor quality paper. So far nothing beat Sailor Kobe Souraken Tea Green. Current favourite is Taccia Sunaoiro Uguisu Olive Green (from set #5, completed in 66%...).

[RJS]

It's interesting seeing how many inks labelled green could barely make a vague claim to being even slightly green.

Beside that there is a freedom in ink name interpretation. My favorite example - jade color

I guess they must be taking advantage of this chart...

This is a fantastic resource @ddntp - I have a pen on my desk filled with J. Herbin Lierre Sauvage and it is useful to have some comparisons.

[TSherbs]

Yes, terrific resource here. Thank you for sharing it all.

Next week I should finish set #5, so be prepared for another 24 green inks
