on saleDiamine Kelly Green - Ink Sample

Really great ink. It is a great color and is really well behaved. Would definitely recommend.

Great. I love the color so much I want a full bottle.

I was searching for a bright spring green, something to resemble new shoots in April. Unfortunately this ink is too light to be consistently legible, even when using a broad nib. I settled instead on Diamine's Apple Glory, which is similar though a bit darker and also a touch bluer that Diamine's Kelly Green.

I've been looking for the right green ink for some time--one that wasn't too dark, nor too light, nor too neon, that would work well in either vintage or modern pens. I think this green might be the winner! Diamine Kelly Green offers a nice, cheerful, bright tone that's not hard to read, nor is it too dark. See my comparison image with Iroshizuku Chiku-Rin and Montblanc Irish Green; for me the Chiku-Rin is a little too light, with hints of brown, while the Irish Green is too blue- or black-green. The ink doesn't offer much in the way of shading when dry, and it flows very well. On regular computer paper, the ink bleeds through/shows through a little bit in places where I wrote more heavily than others. Still, given what I was looking for, I like this color a lot.

Ordered several items including ink samples. Wverything arrived promptly and the car in packing was amazing. Would. It hesitate to order again. Great customer service.
