Diamine's retailers describe it as a deep forest green, but my swatches read noticeably lighter and yellower in the dip-pen bar and handwriting. It only reaches that deeper forest green where the ink pools heavily, and the pooled edges carry a very dark, almost black-brown rim.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShading:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium. It moves clearly from light to dark green within strokes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSheen:\u003c\/strong\u003e None.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShimmer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes. It's a chameleon shimmer that shifts with the angle of the light. Mine shows mostly green-gold, with a cooler blue-green flash at a tilt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlow: \u003c\/strong\u003eMedium\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe interesting bit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pine Needle was Day 23 of Diamine's 2024 Inkvent calendar, and it was later released in full bottles as part of the Black Edition. Real pine needles lean blue-green, so this is a warmer, sappier green than the name suggests. It's one of the more festive inks from that year.\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","brand":"Diamine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57254569083206,"sku":null,"price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1020\/9696\/1862\/files\/DiaminePineNeedle1.jpg?v=1789850942","url":"https:\/\/thepensmuggler.co.uk\/products\/diamine-pine-needle","provider":"The Pen Smuggler","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
