My attempt at a 'mossy stone' green went completely sideways
I tried mixing 2 parts of Diamine Sherwood Green with 1 part of a basic black ink, expecting a deeper forest shade. Instead, after letting it sit for a week, it separated into this weird, murky gray with green particles that clogged my TWSBI Eco. In my experience, you really can't assume all inks will play nice, even from big brands. Has anyone else had a specific black ink that mixes reliably with greens?

Wait you let a home mix sit for a whole week before putting it in a pen? That's asking for trouble, they separate way faster than that. Murky gray with floaty bits sounds like a science experiment gone wrong. For a reliable black, I've only had luck with the basic Pilot Black, it seems to play well with others. Sorry about your Eco, hope a good flush sorts it out.

Yeah, Karenm49 is right about Pilot Black being a safe bet. I use it as my main mixing black because it's so basic and well behaved. What other inks have you found that mix without weird reactions?
