Ink Review #1430: Aurora Green

Aurora Green is from their 100th Anniversary collection. You can find this ink for sale at most retailers including Pen Chalet (aff. link) and Vanness Pens.

The color:

Aurora Green is a medium classic green, it reminds me of green rollerball refills.

Swabs:

In large swabs on Tomoe River paper the ink has a little bit of dark pink sheen.

Writing samples:

Longer writing:

I used a Kaweco Al-sport Anthracite with a medium nib on a Taroko Enigma notebook. The ink had a dry flow.

Overall, the color is nice and it dries quickly, but it’s too dry for me. It was very similar to the Kaweco Palm Green that I reviewed yesterday except that this one has a little less sheen.
