Taccia Midori Green is a medium dark green with some shading and silvery sheen.

Scans

The shading on Iroful is nice, but again there was a little feathering and bleeding.

Photos

The sheen is quite heavy on all the large swatches.

The sheen covers the letters significantly on Iroful, but stays more on the edges of lines on Col-o-ring and MD when it shows at all.

Microscope

Only traces of the sheen in lines on Col-o-ring and MD, but it’s all over on Iroful.

Chromatography

It starts with a very large area of cyan and then a dark band of yellow.

There is a dull glow from the cyan area and a little from the yellow, plus a blue line past the edge.

Verdict

I only have a sample of this which I received during last year’s Fountain Pen Secret Santa gift exchange. It’s a nice shade of green, though personally I prefer lighter tints. It’s worked well in an EF Kakuno, but I have not used it a lot.
