It's a bright green with yellow in it, a greener relative of Push\/Pull's Slime, and the maker suggests it as a highlighting ink as much as a writing one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePush\/Pull is an artist co-operative in Seattle's Ballard neighborhood: an art supply shop, gallery, and small press that started in a basement studio in 2013. They mix their own watercolors, gouache, and fountain pen inks in the store, a batch at a time. That's the appeal and the caveat in one: these are small-batch, hand-made inks, so the color can drift slightly from one batch to the next.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePush\/Pull formulates it to dry fast, which is a real help for left-handed writers whose hand follows the line across the page, and it is water resistant: a splash won't wipe out the page, but it isn't a waterproof ink.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e20 ml vial.
