Diamine
The Diamine Greens:
I regularly go through periods when I enjoy writing with a green ink.
Dark Green - is another colour ewxperience I was not expecting.
The overall colour of the ink strongly leans towards green and not the blue-green that is shown on colour sample found on the Diamine web site.
Performance of this ink was consistent with the other Diamine colours.

Dalamere Green is one of the new colours issued in 20o9.
I like this ink colour as it is a very strong green and looks good for both business and personal notes.

Emerald Green
The colour was not what I was expecting in terms of an emerald tone. It is a flat, interesting green with good tone.
Ink performance is consistent with other Diamine colours. Good flow. Drys in a relatively quick time.
The colour swatch on the web site has a different tone than what I found in using the ink.
Jade Green
I found this colour to be very much like the Diamine Light Green but without the yellow undertone.
On white paper it is a difficult ink to use, as it goes on to very light, and then the ink colour sets.
Using a M800 double broad nib, there is plenty of shading in the strokes.
I won't be taking this one to the office, this is a special occassion ink.

In May 2008 Diamine issued Kelly Green - A bright green, with yellow undertones to the ink.
It is a very bright ink and it is more of a personal note colour as opposed to an ink used for business purposes. .

Light Green
Bright, light green. This ink would be for personal notes rather than business purposes.
From using it on a couple of cards I found the ink to have good performance, similar to the majority of other Diamine ink colours in terms of flow and drying times.

In May 2008 Diamine issued Teal Green - is it a blue or a green? Regardless of how it is to be grouped I have enjoyed using this colour. It has a rich green tone, with just a tinge of the blue-green undertone to give it a distinctive look.
I used it right away for some of my writing. For business purposes, it is a colour that looks okay when you go back to look at a page of writing.
Good flow. Good drying time. Nice shading on broad strokes but no undertones of other colours coming out.

In May 2008 Diamine issued Ultra Green - a bold, bright, rich green.. This may be the green that folks are looking for!
In using the ink, the bold strong colour looks good in both business and personal notes. It dries okay on the paper and there is shading when written with broad nibs but no understones of other colours coming through.

Umber Green is one of the darker greens in the Diamine line of green inks. The colour flattens when it dries but this is a green that is easy on the eye. I have used it for both business and personal writing and it looks very good and sophisticated on the page. |

Woodland Green
A strong bold green, good flow, and performance is consistent with the other Diamine ink colours.
