Thank you. That green was a bit of a surprise, as the swatch on display was just a nice deep green. However, I put it in the Aurora Optima, which has a wide italic and is fairly wet. It also have a perfectly usable reverse italic side to the nib, and what is wild is that regular writing puts more ink, leading to a dark, almost black, line that turns to metallic red sheen, and the reverse is drier and leaves a deep, medium green line. It can really appear that you are using 2 different inks in one line if you flip it for special effects. It was also packaged quite interestingly. No end of creativity in the stationery world in Japan.

 

Thanks for the Tip 👍😀.....  It's a great shading ink. 😀👍

I have a bottle of Noodler's Walnut and a bottle of Diamine Sherwood Green arriving on Friday.

Noodler's Walnut (or at least my bottle of it) is a very dry ink -- I originally had it in a cheapie Platinum Plaisir and it was awful (it was one of the old style where they coated the nib to match the barrel color) and I didn't realize at the time what a dry writer it was.  Then, when I got my first Pelikan (a 1990s era M400 on eBay) I had originally planned to use it for drawing, and initially put Iroshizuku Yama-Guri in that pen (which was WAY too wet an ink for that pen.  So I tried Noodler's Walnut in it, and that ink works VERY well in a wet pen like that Pelikan is -- it literally saved me from pitching the bottle outright.
