My swatches show more range than that. In writing it is a soft grey-green, and where the ink pools in the loops it turns a dusty pink-taupe. Heavier application separates into rose-pink, olive, slate purple and near-black edges. Expect a muted green with warm pink undertones, not a flat green.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShading: \u003c\/strong\u003eYes, moderate to strong.

It was voted into the community’s Top 3 and re-released in 2026 as a standalone ink. The name comes from Erebus crater on Mars, a wind-eroded crater the Opportunity rover drove around and photographed. The colour is Colorverse’s take on that Martian landscape: muted and dusty, with more going on underneath than first appears.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis is a hand-decanted 4ml sample vial from my own bottle.\u003cbr\u003ePhotos are my own swatches on Tomoe River Paper.\u003cbr\u003eI’m a collector and I’m always happy to talk ink, so please message me if you have any questions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Colorverse","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57573216387398,"sku":null,"price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1020\/9696\/1862\/files\/ColorverseErabusCrater3.jpg?v=1791730565","url":"https:\/\/thepensmuggler.co.uk\/products\/colorverse-colorvent-2025-erebus-crater-4ml-fountain-pen-ink-sample","provider":"The Pen Smuggler","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
