Ink Review #489: L'Artisan Pastellier Callifolio Ohlanga

Today I’ll be reviewing Callifolio Ohlanga. This is a bluish-green teal that is named after the Ohlanga river in South Africa.

This ink had medium shading and no sheen. The color is well-saturated and shifts from a light to medium bluish green.

I absolutely adored this ink! The shading and color reminded me of the cloudy ocean waters. This ink had an average, steady flow without hard starts or skipping.

Overall: This is a unique and well-behaved teal. I liked it so much that I inked my Pilot 823 <M> with the rest of the ink sample. I will be purchasing a bottle in the future and definitely recommend checking this color out!
