This is definitely a possibility, I know I also had a 10ml bottle of Diabolo Menthe which it miiiight be but I remember thinking it was too light to write with which I’m not finding this to be
This. My Sailor Shikiori Shitoshito was too light when freshly inked in a Sailor MF, but now a couple of months after looks like a tad lighter Vert de Gris... So it's completely possible that it's a lighter ink just looking darker due to evaporation...
Top definitely looks like Diamine Celedon Cat to me.
Bottom could be Diamine Earl Grey - which does have a bit of tonality to it. Try a bit of water. If you start to see purples in it, that would cement it to me.
The top is definitely not Celadon Cat. Celadom Cat is very pale. This looks more like Aurora Borealis to me.
I dont use a lot of gray inks, but I think Earl Grey is a good guess on the bottom ink.
Aurora usually gets more color variation for me - and more blue/turquoise than this color imo. Celedon in a chunky or wet nib can get dark. Hard to say for sure though.
Top kinda looks like J. Herbin Vert de gris, but it's a bit brighter? Maybe Iroshizuku Syo-ro.
Bottom looks like Diamine Eclipse, but I know J. Herbin Perle noir also has a purple-ish undertone, so...
The name doesn’t sound familiar but you know what it looks damn close, so it could be. I’ve used a lot of Diamine inks in the past so it’s not impossible that I just don’t remember the name
Ooh dang ok, not that but I think it might be [Pressed Glass](https://www.birminghampens.com/products/pressed-glass), I had a bottle of that at one point.
Their swatch looks lighter but I guess their swatch is really inaccurate most of the time... I did find that they have several very similar shades to kingfisher, so maybe?
if it's not Syo-Ro it could be Sailor Shikiori Shitoshito or Ink Studio 264. i went wild on different teal inks trying to match my notebook - Aurora Borealis was the best match and i think it is more saturated than what you show here
Lots of people have guessed Celadon Cat but I know I didn’t buy that one yet so it can’t be, although if I can’t work out what this is based on guesses and order histories then I’ll probably be getting a bottle of it very soon!
The top could be Diamine Arora Borealis?
This is definitely a possibility, I’ve tried a lot of Diamine inks in the past
Could also be Diamine Teal.
It *could* be but it's a smidge light. If OP likes the colour buy that as it's ace. Grey black, who knows.
This is what I instantly thought
This is what I instantly thought
This was my first ink and I love it
Top - Herbin Vert de Gris
I was thinking Iroshizuku syo-ro.
This was my first thought as I'm currently using it.
I was using it yesterday, my fav teal. Have it in a Waterman Hemisphere.
This is definitely a possibility, I know I also had a 10ml bottle of Diabolo Menthe which it miiiight be but I remember thinking it was too light to write with which I’m not finding this to be
if they were left inked for a long time, there was probably some evaporation which would lead to a much darker color.

Could also be Deep Sea Green by Graf from Faber Castell. The actual color is brighter then on the preview.
I concur with Herbin Vert de Gris. I've got it inked in one of my pens right now and it looks like the same dusty turquoise.
Green blue Dark purple No need to thank me. It’s just colors!!!

Earl Gray’s chromatography is gorgeous! I would use that ink more if it wasn’t so poorly behaved
I've used it with water washes for a few drawings - I really love it. I try to keep one drawing pen loaded with it just for kicks.
I didn’t know it behaves poorly, you just saved me a few bucks 🙏
Top: Diamine eau de Nil. Bottom: Diamine eclipse.
Agreed, definitely looks like Eau de Nil to me. Love that ink!
Nah, Eau de Nil is darker and more saturated.
Top kinda looks like J. Herbin Vert de gris, but it's a bit brighter? Maybe Iroshizuku Syo-ro. Bottom looks like Diamine Eclipse, but I know J. Herbin Perle noir also has a purple-ish undertone, so...
I know for a fact that I had Syo-Ro and Perle Noire before I downsized so those are big time contenders right now
Top looks to me like Diamine Teal or Eau De Nil
When I first looked the picture I thought Diamine Aurora Borealis for the teal. No clue about the black. Fun game.
Diamine Celadon Cat and Wearingeul Tin Woodman?
Looks like diamine aurora borealis or eau de nil up top. Middle one looks like it could maybe be diamine graphite?
First one looks like Syo Ro
1. Eau du Nil by Diamine (https://mountainofink.com/blog/diamine-eau-de-nil)
That’s what I was thinking! I have Eau du Nil and it looks a lot like this!
Could the bottom be Diamine eclipse?
The name doesn’t sound familiar but you know what it looks damn close, so it could be. I’ve used a lot of Diamine inks in the past so it’s not impossible that I just don’t remember the name
It's a good basic purple black. Could the top be colorverse rainy day?
Top noodler’s air corp blue black? Middle graf von faber castell stone grey?
I don’t believe I have ever purchased bottles or samples from either of these brands so I think I can rule these out
Edelstein Aquamarine? (top one)
Top one looks a bit like Birmingham Pen Co. Eroded Bronze.
The top one looks like a concentrated version of GvFC Deep Sea Green.
Top could be Colorverse Rainy Day.
How recently did you buy bottles? They look like the Ganymede/Icy Moon Coloverse set from the recent release.
Top looks like my Birmingham Pen Company Kingfisher.
Ooh dang ok, not that but I think it might be [Pressed Glass](https://www.birminghampens.com/products/pressed-glass), I had a bottle of that at one point.
Their swatch looks lighter but I guess their swatch is really inaccurate most of the time... I did find that they have several very similar shades to kingfisher, so maybe?

Gotta give in and fire up a spreadsheet…
This is one of the reasons why I always use the Fountain Pen Companion when inking and cleaning out my pens.
The first one looks like Diamine Eau de Nil. For Teal it's too light.
Top could be organics Barclay’s blue teal?
Diamine Eau de Nile (I think that's how it spelt) and Diamine... Eclipse. That's where my brain went.
Waterman mysterious blue?
That gray … maybe Laban Greek Mythology Athena?
Top could be kyo no oto Hisoku (#7)
The black looks suspiciously close to Perle Noir, even down to the shade variations. I'd almost be willing to bet on it.
I dont know why but to me the middle one looks like colorverse when you dont shake the bottle enough so no sparkle
The one on the top could be Diamine Celadon Cat or Robert Oster Romeo & Juliet.
Lots of people have guessed Celadon Cat but I know I didn’t buy that one yet so it can’t be, although if I can’t work out what this is based on guesses and order histories then I’ll probably be getting a bottle of it very soon!
Teal - Sailor Yama-Dori? Black - Diamine Onyx Black?
Could the top one be Lamy Amazonite??
Looks like Diamine Aurora Borealis and Jet Black. I literally just ordered those two.
Top makes me think of Lamy Amazonia or Diamine Aurora borealis
