Color: A very dark, saturated green that can look almost black. It has a strong reddish-purple sheen that becomes especially noticeable where the ink pools.
Special Note: This is an extreme sheen ink. The sheen takes a long time to dry, especially in areas where the ink pools. Be careful when closing your journal or touching the writing, as the sheen can transfer or smudge even after the base ink appears dry.
Inspiration & Background: Part of the Diamine Inkvent 2025 Teal Edition, released as Day 18 of the calendar. Despite the Teal Edition name, Laurel has a dark green base with a strong reddish-purple sheen.
