Tono & Lims - Star Light Series: E=mc²

This one is very interesting. Is it green, gray, or both? On Iroful it's sort of an olive green, on Col-o-ring it's much darker gray with hint of green. On Midori it's much lighter olive-ish. Still usable, but not as nice as Regulus. I was hoping for a little more "grassy" green but it's still not too bad.

Under UV it glows green, but the exact shade of green varies.

Photo of two swatch cards and a piece of paper, all with writing samples in the same ink, under natural light. Top left is a col-o-ring swatch card, top right is an Iroful swatch card, bottom center is a Midori note sheet. The col-o-ring swatch card has a large blob of dark gray ink with a green tint to it, and in writing with a stub nib is "Tono & Lims E=mc²" followed by "XX" and two curlicues in stub and fine nibs. The Iroful swatch card has a large blob of olive green ink inside an outline of a paint palette and in writing with a stub nib is "Tono & Lims E=mc²" followed by "XX" and two curlicues in stub and fine nibs. The Midori note pad has a writing sample in olive green ink reading "Tono & Lims E=mc² / Majohn A3"
Same as photo 1, but under UV light. The ink on the Col-o-ring is glowing dark green but the card itself is also glowing bright light blue. The ink on the Iroful card is glowing green. The paper has a faint bluish glow. The writing on the Midori sheet is glowing green. The paper is unchanged.

E-mc² under magnification. Look at it glow! First image is on Midori under normal and then UV light. Looks really wild under UV.

Third image is Col-o-ring and you can see it's a bit darker yet still has green showing through. Last image is Iroful and much more of the green shows there, less of the gray.

Most of the image consists of brightly glowing green ink with some areas that are much darker green and some very bright green fibers glowing within the dark areas. There is a ring of glowing blue around the edge.
