Sheaffer Green Ink - Is the label correct?

We all know Sheaffer. Sheaffer is a well-known brand that produces high-quality fountain pens and inks. The inks are very well made and can be used in almost all types and brands of fountain pens. The colors are also quite consistent the ink does not fades away easily. 

However, my recent purchase had me thinking. I recently bought a Sheaffer Green ink. I was expecting a green color that would match the bottle sticker without much difference. But I was in for a surprise.

The ink in my opinion has a turquoise greenish color, tilting more towards teal and turquoise. 


I was quite baffled by the color of the ink. I was not sure whether the bottle was wrongly labeled. So to verify I went to a stationery shop and asked for a Sheaffer Green Ink and tried it there. It had the same turquoise blue green color. I did some more research and found out that this is the only green that Sheaffer makes and it does have a bluish tone.

All the other inks from Sheaffer match the bottle label but the green. So if you are in for buying a green colored ink from Sheaffer, better try out the ink before buying it.
