on saleNoodler's Sequoia Green - Ink Sample

I received a sample of this color. I was conflicted between this color and Diamine Salamander. Both have are an earthy green color. A color I was searching for. I ordered two samples of the Salamander because I ran out of the first vial. I was leaning towards it. After much deliberation I decided on the Noodler's Sequoia. I really like the color. It has some decent shading qualities. I mostly like it because it is green, and dark enough that it can still be used professionally. As an Engineer I take notes daily, and attend many meetings. I have no problems using this color in my pens. The writing is smooth, as is the color. It has a very even distribution. It is not too wet when it writes. I have not had much of a problem with bleeding either. I am very happy with my choice. I would really encourage sample purchases. They are not only addictive, and reasonably priced, but they really allow you to explore colors and try them before investing in a bottle.

Noodler's Sequoia Green lives up to its name! A saturated, pine green leaning towards yellow, reminiscent of a hemlock grove; dark, mysterious, but still clearly green even though on the dark side and still light enough for shading as well. Not water-fast at all, alas! But I do love this color!(Nathan: any way this could be made more waterproof??? It's a thing of beauty.)

I really enJoy ink colors that look 'plain' at first glance, but reveal themselves to be special only under closer attention. Something of a metaphor...

This dark green was a little too... simple for my tastes. It's a good saturated color, well behaved, just not for me.

A very saturated ink. the shading potentially goes from a very dark, near black, green to the color of oak leaves in the spring/summer.
