Ink Review #536: 3 Oysters Aqua Green

Our next 3 Oysters inks today is Aqua Green from the Delicious collection. Thanks to Pen Chalet for sending a sample over for review. I love this teal green color, it’s beautiful.

The color:

Aqua Green is a vibrant teal green.

Swabs:

In large swabs there is just a little bit of pink sheen.

Writing samples:

Let's take a look at how the ink behaves on fountain pen friendly papers: Rhodia, Tomoe River, and Leuchtturm.

Dry time: 40 seconds

Water resistance: Low

Feathering: None

Show through: Medium

Bleeding: None

Other properties: medium shading, tiny sheen, and no shimmer. The sheen is only visible in large swabs on Tomoe River paper.

On Staples 24 lb copy paper there was feathering and bleeding in all nib sizes.

Comparison Swabs:

Aqua Green is closest to Robert Oster Turquoise. Click here to see the 3 Oysters inks together.

Longer writing:

I used a broad Pelikan M600 Turquoise on a Midori MD Notebook. The ink had an average to dry flow.

Overall, I love this color, but I have a lot of inks this color (since it’s my favorite) and I don’t think it’s different enough from what I already have to need a full bottle. It’s my favorite of the 3 Oysters inks so far.
