I like gray inks. Always looking for that perfect shade. It's been a long time since I've added an ink to my Fifty Shades of Grey line-up or talked about the spelling of gray -vs- grey. Too long if you ask me!
Unfortunately, I'm not wild about Cement Gray from De Atramentis. (Thank goodness it doesn't stink like cement, though!)
The problem seems to be that there's a lot of green in the ink.
Admittedly, it's difficult to see the green with my scans, but it's there. It's there so much that I pointed out to Mr. Pentulant that he might want to consider this ink as his dark-nearly-black-but-still-green choice. He tried it for a short while, but didn't love it.
The green is most apparent when looked at along side other inks...
As usual, I wrote with this ink for about a week after the review. It wrote fine - a little hard-starting at times even in a medium nib Lamy Safari.
The problem (for me) was the color. What do you think? See the green? Like it? Hate it?
