Ink Review #330: De Atramentis Standard Saraha Grey

Today we’ll be taking a look at de Atramentis Saraha Grey! Contrary to it’s name, the color is a safari-green.

This ink had low/little shading and no sheen. The color is lighter than Diamine Safari but similar to Rohrer & Klingner Alt-Goldgrun.

This ink had an average dry time but high water resistance! I was quite surprised at how well the ink handled water.

This ink had a wet flow. The color is dark enough to be legible. It’s quite pretty and would be a great spring and summer ink.

Overall: This is a well-behaved yellow-green. It’s also very water resistant which is a plus—typically these inks are either blue, black, or grey!
