This ink is very lovely to write with on heavier papers that handle fountain pen ink well. It has lovely shading and is a nice, dark, visible grey without being too dark. It is quite feathery and see-through on cheap paper, though. Save it for the nice paper.

This is a very well behaved ink. It is a true gray on the lighter side and flows well in my pen. I have tried it in several pens and it flows nicely in all of them. The color is a bit on the lighter side and has a true gray appearance. I tried several other grey inks and liked this one the best.

A nice warm grey that looks bold and pretty; not like graphite. From a fine nib, it is pretty visible on the backside of cheap paper.

I love this color. It looks exactly like a pencil and in some pens I even get a little drag--like a pencil, which I love because I love the way a pencil writes, but it doesn't smear like pencil does over time. It is a calm color, not urgent like black. I make To Do lists with it and have written notes. It is also good for crossword puzzles. The lists are less in your face with their urgency with this ink. I like lots of different ink colors for different reasons. This has become a favorite color. The flow in the pens I have used (two) is good and wetness may depend on the nib. (?) I really cannot speak to water resistance since I haven't subjected it to that test. Those issues aren't important to me. The color and mood the ink creates are great for me!

Wonderful grey color, reminiscent of soft pencil, this color is a pure grey, with no undertones of brown or green. Lusciously wet and smooth with substantial shading and very water resistant when dry.

I'm no ink expert, but I wanted a shade of grey ink that would look like a pencil. So I ordered a sample vial from Goulet and was delighted with this ink. It looks great when writing technical and programming notes with my Lamy Safari medium. It flows reasonably well and is quick drying.

I received this ink in the monthly ink drop. Let me start by saying I'm not a fan of grey inks. That said this ink shades wonderfully from a wet pen. However, I was having lots of flow problems with this ink. I test using my Noodlers Ahab since it never fails for me. This ink would stop flowing from one word to the next and id have to tap my pen to get it to flow again. I was also having the same problem with my Lamy Studio with a 1.5 italic. The shading was very limited from the Lamy, but its a drier pen.

Good color, good tone, dries quick enough. Have gotten used to it even though I was looking that special grey. Better than most.

Based upon the Swab Shop color on my computer monitor (corrected/Calibrized), I had expected this ink to be more silver and less gray. It is however, more gray. Hence the average rating. I'm with Grizz in that I was looking for the special gray too. This isn't it.But it does flow very smoothly, dries quickly, is a nice mid-range gray with good saturation.

This Silver Grey is plain and neutral like a black, but it's actually more the color of the cheap mechanical pencils I use at work for drafts. At one point, I doubted whether I had written something with my fountain pen or the pencil, because it wasn't discernible at a quick glance. I used it in a Pilot Metropolitan and didn't have any flow issues at all. It had some subtle shading on my Rhodia paper, though little to none on the copier paper (and what it did offer was almost identical to the way the graphite of my pencil shone in the light). If I wanted a soft black, I might go for this ink. It's very neutral in hue, which I like. When I blotted it on a paper towel and added a drop of water, I didn't see any other color than grey, as other blacks might have. (It did not seem to be especially waterproof in this test.)

This ink flows perfectly out of my pen. The color is a perfect grey.

I am pleased with how this ink looks and flows in my Lamy

The perfect shade of grey with a hint of silver, minimal shading in my Lamy Safari, but with a thicker nib I'm hoping. Again, very professional. Would reccomand to business-type people :)

After sampling several ?gray? inks, I decided on the D-A Silver Grey. Not too much blue or green tint like some of the others I tried and not too dark. I use it for my everyday journal entry. It dries fast and has good shading. I want to try it in a calligraphy nib to see how that works, I just haven?t gotten around to it. At first I thought I was ?settling? for this ink but, it has really grown on me, 4 stars. Concerning Goulet Pens; what can I say except that they never disappoint ? next day service and Brian faithfully answers all of my nube questions, no matter how simplistic.

I was torn between this or Iroshizuku Kiri-same, but the DA Silver Grey won. It's darker than Kiri-same, but has equally good flow & will be a bit more legible in all nib widths than I think the Kiri-same would. Also feels more true grey without leaning too far to the blue or green side.
