Great shading light teal

I bought this ink trying to match the shallow water of the Gulf of Mexico at Santa Rosa Beach, Florida. It is a great match. This ink was a great shading ink in my Pilot Custom 823 with a medium nib. It is wet and is easy to clean. If you like less vibrant, but good shading this is a nice ink for your collection.

Perfect color!

What a gorgeous color! And with lovely shading. This is my go to ink for my new twsbi amazonite pen in medium. Can't wait to order more! Shows up well on paper for writing also.

Beautiful Color

It is a wet ink but super fast drying in my experience. It's my favorite color and looks gorgeous on the page. There's a bit of shading too which is cool.

Lovely soft pale pastel color

I am not a fan of greens but this soft mint is such a lovely color when used in a fountain pen. I tried it in my Monteverde Monza EF point. It writes smoothly with this ink, just flies over the paper. It appears as a pastel but is dark enough to take notes with.

Lovely color! A bit more blue than a true "mint"

I purchased this to go with J. Herbin's Corail Des Tropiques coral and they are a great pair. This is not the pale green I would think of as mint, it is more in the light blue-green shades. The color is gorgeous and lighter than most teal/turquoise inks, so even if you already have something in this family, this is one that is completely different. It is somewhat like a robin's egg blue with a bit more green and a touch more color. I find it to be very cheerful and relaxing, while still being dark enough to read easily. Overall this ink is well behaved like most Diamine inks. It is not waterproof, but it has decent lubrication and nice flow. My only regret is not buying a larger bottle.

My favorite color

This is a true blue-green/turquoise, exactly on the ambiguous point between green and blue. The hue matches the swab, it is just a bit darker in real world. It shades nicely, didn't buy because of shading but it was a pleasant surprise. The ink works well, made my cheap fountain pen write like a good one. And the price is quite low.

Beautiful xoloe

I bought this ink about a month ago. It matches my turquoise TWSBI eco perfectly. Some slight feathering, but overall a great daily fun writing ink

you can't hate this ink

There is scientific data to suggest that the blue portion of the light spectrum actually stimulates the autonomic nervous system thus dampening the stress response. It is the only way i can rationalize how soothing it feels to gaze upon this ink. It's the kind of ink that makes you get up and get a glass of water. it's that refreshing.

Lovely Ink

I love this colour so much. I got it as an extra in an order and fell in love immediately. It's understated but strong. I would feel fairly comfortable using it at work. It also goes really well with Diamine's Moon Dust. It flows well in my EF preppy and

Great color!

It's a very interesting color, kind of fills a gap that I had in my green colors as a light green/teal. A great color, but a bit too light to keep in a daily pen, it doesn't do too well on blue post it's for example.

Lovely Shade

My purchase happened because I HAD to have an ink to match as closely as possible the cool Retro Pop Metropolitan pen in turquoise that I was also ordering from Goulet! http://www.gouletpens.com/pilot-metropolitan-fountain-pen-retro-pop-turquoise-fine/p/PN91436 They are a brilliant match.

A happy 1950's mint-green

Soft Mint looked so pretty on the screen that I ordered a sample. I never use greens, but this is special. The first thing I thought about was that happy 1950's kitchen color that was a cross between turquoise and green. Kind of like a pale green turquoise gemstone.Most unusually, the color I saw on my screen was pretty accurate when I started writing with this ink. I'm using it in a Sensa Meridian fine nib (which is still fairly wet) and have had no flow problems. I get bleed-through on el cheapo ruled office pads, but hey: who doesn't? It worked a lot better on Moleskine and on high-quality journal paper.A previous commenter is right about the shading: it really lightens as you go along, but it's still readable and beautiful. I plan to give it a run in my Shaeffer Nostalgia, which is a wet, medium-nib pen, and a Pilot Penmanship with an extra-fine nib.( Japanese, so we're talking hair-fine, here.)Definitely ordering a bottle of this one!

Dark But Dilutable

For many people the combination of lightness and brightness in this soft green would be too bright for letter-writing... to me it's just fine for personal letters but no good for work. It shows a tremendous shift in saturation from first line to last (by the time I get to the bottom of a page, it's borderline highlighter!) but it is a beautiful color in every intensity. Perfectly mint: a tiny bit toward the blue side so it never shades to yellow, but definitely green, not teal.

Lovely color

Bought this for my daughter. She loves the color. It's her favorite. It is indeed a very nice ink.

Beautiful color!

This ink reminds me of Iroshizuku Syo-ro. It is a tad lighter when it dries, and doesn't have the reddish sheen that Syo-ro has. Excellent behavior, good shading.

This is a keeper !

I wanted to try this as a highlighter to use to make notes and underline in texts, etc. and it works perfectly for that. It flows smoothly, dries quickly and has almost zero ghosting on any type of paper. It is just a shade too pale too use as an everyday ink or I would have given it 5 stars. Great color!

Didn't work for me

Did not enjoy the color as much as I was expecting.
