The color:

Sherwood Green is a dark Christmas green.

Swabs:

In large swabs on Tomoe River paper the ink looks darker and has more sheen.

Longer writing:

I used a Franklin-Christoph 46 Green Diamondcast with a broad nib on a Taroko Enigma notebook. The ink had an average flow.

Overall, this is a great holiday green-perfect for Christmas cards.
