Shanghai Stationary Huang Pu (sample)

I wasn't sure whether to put this in the greens or the blues, as it's a lovely 'peacock' dark teal. From my initial testing, the depth of colour is heavily dependent on the pen – in a dry writer it's a pretty, pale teal, but in a wet writer it could arguably be grouped in the 'blue black' category. There's a small amount of sheen but nothing particularly significant; the main focus of this ink is arguably the gorgeous colour. 

It is well-behaved and has an average flow. Dry times were good, such that this could be a very practical daily driver for work.
