Dominant Industry Pearl 007 Natural Green – 25ml Fountain Pen Ink (Shimmer)

Green inks tend to split into two camps: bright, spring-like greens that read almost yellow, or the deep, quiet greens that belong to a forest after rain. Natural Green sits firmly in the second camp — a dark, grounded colour with a cool blue shimmer running through it, like light catching on wet leaves.

Dominant Industry Pearl 007 Natural Green is a 25ml fountain pen ink from the Pearl Series, hand-crafted in small batches at Dominant Industry's studio in Paju, South Korea. Like all Pearl Series inks, it uses fine, eco-friendly shimmer particles milled to move cleanly through standard fountain pen feeds — shake the bottle well before each fill to keep the shimmer evenly suspended.

Available at Shosai (shosai.ca) in Gatineau / Ottawa — with in-store pickup (J9J 0K6) and Canada-wide shipping.

Colour Profile

Base Colour

Natural Green reads as a medium olive green to dark forest green — saturated, grounded, and noticeably darker than many green inks on the market. Where the ink pools less, it opens up into a brighter, more vivid green; in heavier strokes, it deepens toward something closer to a true forest shadow.

Shimmer

Natural Green carries a blue shimmer — described by more than one reviewer as leaning turquoise with occasional hints of purple depending on the light. The shimmer is generous and clearly visible in large swatches or broader nib strokes, adding a cool, glinting contrast against the warm, earthy green base.

Shading

Natural Green shows medium shading, with a real difference in tone between where the ink pools and where it runs thin — the dark green giving way to a brighter, lighter green in less saturated areas, which adds genuine visual movement to ordinary handwriting.

Sheen

Natural Green has no sheen. Its character comes entirely from the interplay of the dark green base and the blue shimmer running through it.

Ink Properties at a Glance

Flow & Dry Time

Natural Green has an average flow and dries in approximately 40 seconds on a medium nib on Rhodia paper.

Formula & Safety

A dye-based shimmer ink, pH-neutral and safe for use in resin and celluloid fountain pens. As with any shimmer ink, regular cleaning is recommended to prevent particle buildup over extended use.

Paper Performance

Natural Green performs cleanly on premium papers such as Tomoe River, Rhodia, and Leuchtturm, with no bleed-through even on absorbent notebook paper. On lower-quality copy paper, expect a small amount of feathering and occasional bleeding.

How to Get the Most Out of Natural Green

Recommended Nibs

Medium or broader nibs bring out the most shimmer and shading; the ink can run slightly dry in some pens with a fine or extra-fine nib, so a wetter pen or broader tip helps the full effect come through.

Recommended Uses

• Journaling and nature-themed writing — a deep, quiet green with just enough sparkle to feel special without losing its grounded character
• Swatching and ink reviews — a highly photogenic ink, with visible shading and a shimmer that reads clearly in macro photography
• Calligraphy and dip pen work — well suited to broader, wetter strokes where the shimmer and shading both have room to develop

About the Pearl Series

The Pearl Series is Dominant Industry's signature shimmer line, pairing saturated, nature-inspired base colours with fine, eco-friendly glitter particles designed for smooth flow through fountain pen feeds. Natural Green captures the quiet, layered colour of a forest floor, finished with a cool blue shimmer that keeps the ink from ever feeling flat.

About Dominant Industry

Dominant Industry is a South Korean ink studio based in Paju, dedicated to small-batch production and colours drawn from natural light and landscape. Rather than working from a flat colour chart, the brand develops each ink around a specific natural reference point, aiming for what they describe as "bottled light" — colour that can be felt as much as seen.
