Heliogen Green-Copper by De Atramentis
De Atramentis refers to the particulate in this ink as pearlescent, and certainly it shimmers as if so, but it’s also the largest particulate I’ve ever encountered in a fountain pen ink.

Albert by Colorverse
This ink runs on the dry side, but it’s a fun lime green hue and shades really well.
Best Wishes by Diamine
Merry Christmas, indeed! This ink is a deep evergreen hue, with tons of red sheen and green shimmer.
Olive Swirl by Diamine
This is not a particularly nice shade of olive green, but it shades rather dramatically and the shimmer in it is duotone green and pink. It’s a very unique combination!
Appletini by Diamine
The above photo was taken in direct sunlight. Ink is swatched on Clairefontaine 90gsm paper, using a glass dip pen. Specs Name: Appletini Maker: Diamine Color Family: Green Properties: Shading Purchased at: Atlas Stationers (came in the 2022 Diamine InkVent) What’s in a name? This seems pretty straightforward, as literal colors go. Fun fact: Appletinis were my bar/club drink of choice during my 20s, because I enjoyed when my alcohol tasted like a Jolly Rancher. I’m pretty sure the sugar content alone would kill me, these days. Swatches A large swatch of ink showcases the darkest this ink gets, as well […]
Alpine by Diamine
The above photo was taken in direct sunlight. Ink is swatched on Clairefontaine 90gsm paper, using a glass dip pen. Specs Name: Alpine Maker: Diamine Color Family: Green Properties: Shimmering, Shading Purchased at: Atlas Stationers (came in the 2022 Diamine InkVent) What’s in a name? Similar to Spruce, this green is dark (though more yellow-toned) and evokes the idea of pine needles. I don’t know how the shimmer connects with the name, but I presume the concept of winter in the Alps amid the evergreen trees is why this is a green ink. Swatches A large swatch of ink showcases the […]

Specs Name: Spruce Maker: Diamine Color Family: Green Properties: Scented, Sheening Purchased at: Atlas Stationers (came in the 2022 Diamine InkVent) What’s in a name? This one is pretty straightforward. The green definitely has an evergreen dusky dark quality to it, like pine needles. Swatches A large swatch of ink showcases the darkest this ink gets, as well as the maximum properties it has (when held at the right angle to show any shimmer or sheen). But what about when you’re writing […]
Peppermint Drop by Ferris Wheel Press

Specs Name: Peppermint Drop Maker: Ferris Wheel Press Color Family: Green Properties: Sheening (very low), Shading Purchased at: Vanness What’s in a name?

Specs Name: Shikiori Miruai Maker: Sailor Inks Color Family: Green Properties: Shading, Sheening Purchased at: Goulet Pens What’s in a name? Sailor’s Shikiori line celebrates the beauty of each of the four seasons in Japan. Miruai is seaweed, and certainly this ink has the same dusky green hue as seaweed! It also shades and kinda sorta sheens black. Swatches A large swatch of ink showcases the darkest this ink gets, as well as the maximum properties it has (when held at […]
