PenBBS - 299 Green Snow

PenBBS - 299 Green Snow - Ink drop

I’m a big fan of creamy, luscious deep blue-greens! PenBBS do shimmer inks very well, and 299 Green Snow uses color and shimmer in perfect harmony.

PenBBS 299 Green Snow is a rich, forest green with strong blue influences, but not enough to confidently call it a strong teal.  The shimmer here is white silver, but against the base color it takes on a lovely silvery-green that works beautifully. As you see in the splatter, there is a nice touch of pink sheen that decorates the edges of saturated areas. I liked it immediately, and only like it more now that I’ve spent some time with it.

PenBBS - 299 Green Snow - Ink swatch card and drying

This is a smooth flowing ink, moderate in viscosity. It dries fairly quickly, and hasn’t caused any problems with pens or feeds, so far. I didn’t get much in terms of sheen edging in written stroke, but it has a sharp, clean profile. With no feathering problems at all, and decent drying times, I'd call it a very nice writing ink.
