I thought I wouldn't be too into a grey ink, but this is absolutely gorgeous.

Wow! I would expect Earl Grey to be brown/copper like tea.

It's an interesting ink. When the ink starts wet it almost looks like a shade of green, as it dried it becomes more and more grey as the name implies. I recommend you get a sample.

I think I need to go ink up a pen with this ink, right now. Thank you for the inspiration!

I’ve been meaning to get some grey ink but I have always been hesitant because of legibility. Perhaps I’ll give that one a shot :)

Ooh! That is pretty! I just ordered some more ink, and now I regret not adding that one to the list!

Oooh, mine actually dries with quite a purple undertone to it. It's very pretty, but it has me searching for a truly neutral grey. I have a sample of plain old Diamine Grey sitting around that needs to be tested now.

Are you by any chance using an ivory paper? Mine looks like it has a hint of purple too in my Midori.
