Robert Oster Sydney Darling Harbour is a unique dusky slate-forest green ink with medium shading, subtle peachy orange-pink undertones, and hints of blue that emerge on coated papers. Originally the 2019 Sydney Pen Show ink, it's known for its complex, tonally interesting character with quick drying and average flow, though it shows some feathering on cheaper papers and low water resistance. It suits writers seeking an expressive, unconventional green for daily use with finer nibs on quality paper.
