Paper & pairing

Greens read as more expressive than blue or black — a common choice for people who want color without leaving the realm of "still looks professional." This ink will behave predictably on most fountain-pen-friendly paper. Cheap, highly absorbent paper (standard copier paper) will dull any ink's saturation and can cause feathering or bleed-through with wetter nibs.

About 3 Oysters

3 Oysters is a South Korean stationery brand producing fountain pen inks and pens in Korea. Its ink range centers on the food-and-color-themed Delicious series and the Hun Min Jeong Eum series, the latter named after the 15th-century document that introduced the Korean Hangul alphabet, with colors carrying Korean names like Jebi (swallow) and Saseum (deer). The inks are known for saturated colors, good behavior, and generously sized 38 ml bottles.

Storing and using the bottle

Bottled fountain pen ink has an effectively long shelf life when kept capped and out of direct sunlight — most inks remain usable for years. The main risk isn't the ink spoiling, it's a pen sitting inked and unused for weeks: that's what causes clogs, not the ink's age.

Frequently asked questions

What color family is Delicious Peacock Green?
Delicious Peacock Green falls into Inktend's greens family based on its typical swatch color.
Does Delicious Peacock Green have sheen?
Delicious Peacock Green is not typically noted for sheen. If you want that effect, browse similarly colored inks tagged with sheen in the ink library.
How should I store a bottle of Delicious Peacock Green?
Years, easily, as long as it stays capped and out of direct sunlight. The thing that actually shortens an ink's usable life is sitting unused inside a pen, not sitting on a shelf.
What paper works best with Delicious Peacock Green?
It behaves predictably on most fountain-pen-friendly paper. Stick to something reasonably absorbent-resistant, since cheap copier paper dulls saturation and can feather.
