Colorverse Colorvent 2024 Day 10 is "Aquarius Whispers", a light sea green/jade, teal but greener. Shades readily, but no sheen.

It's unique for me. Nearly as light as Apple Glory but not pure green (more blue). Much lighter+greener than Aurora Borealis. Much lighter than Mystic Forest. It's a happy medium between all of them but I don't see it replacing Apple Glory as my go-to green.

Pen is a Pilot Kakuno Family "Boy" (Green, Fine)

Photo of a "Colorverse Colorspace Size C" swatch card, type 2 which is based on the Hubble space telescope. The ink on the card is a light sea green/jade color with darker shading areas where ink has pooled. Upper left is text reading "#10 Aquarius Whispers" written in an EF nib and then a stub nib. Just to the left side of the middle at the top is a large illustration of the Hubble space telescope in negative space among swabbed ink. In the middle right side is text "Hubble Space Telescope NASA" in negative space among scribbled ink. In the middle left is text reading "You are 336.2mi from Earth" in negative space among ink scribbles. In the middle lower left is a blob of swirled ink drawn by a glass dip pen. Near the center are "Mars" and "Uranus" with circles representing those planets, in more swabbed ink. Lower right is text "Colorverse 2024". Laying across the card is a Pilot Kakuno fountain pen, which is transparent light teal/aqua blue-green, a little more blue than the ink.
