This is a very interesting ink. I spent a considerable amount of time looking at swatches in store and making considerations. The swatch is beautiful in store! The swatches online both on this site and on other sites are rich and dark with a lot of nice shading and warmth even nice and dark in the writing samples. In my experience this ink writes mostly light silvery green with slight depth and subtle red glitter and brown where the ink has a chance to pool. Unlike the name Autumn Forest would suggest, to me it evokes the silvery bottoms of olive leaves flickering on the wind in a mature orchard, late summer. It really is a beautiful color but not at all the same as any of the swatches I've seen. I understand that there are factors that have to work together for an ink to look a certain way, the pen, paper and ink. That's why I've paired it with a TWSBI eco and 1.1 stub. I've tried it on several papers with similar results, Tsubame fools paper, tomoe river, Life Noble, Rhodia. The sample I give here looks darker in the photo than it presents in person, it's on modern tomoe river paper, lined is Tsubame fools, for reference. I also only adjusted the brightness and cropped the images. Again this is a beautiful color and I'm happy I have it, it was just a surprise when it hit my paper.
