A shading turquoise with minimal sheen, unlike day 18's Gravity Wave, and leaning brighter and more green than Gravity Wave and Ku-jaku. Still plenty of contrast for daily writing but a nice change of color.
Writing sample from Ovid Metamorphoses 2:114-115, translation in thread.

If you are going to be in Dublin, or online, in February and are interested in the Classical world - its history, arts and culture, and how it relates to now, then here's a festival I'm working with. #classics#ancientWorld#Rome#Greece https://www.classicsnow.ie/
The Cultural Tutor (@culturaltutor): "If we look at ancient art — of which little remains in comparison with sculpture — we can see that these artists clearly had the skill to paint in a very lifelike way. Perspective, shading, modelling, colour; they could do it all. Perhaps their statues were painted equally well." | nitter https://nitter.net/culturaltutor/status/1686303943498846210#m
Charlie Feldman (@ParlCharlie): "On this day in Canadian parliamentary history - December 8, 1964: The Deputy Speaker kindly suggests that members limit their use of Greek or Latin." https://nitter.net/ParlCharlie/status/1733096838096687391#m
Kristen Patterson writes beautifully about Emily Wilson’s new translation of the Iliad and the controversies surrounding it. She contends with the continuing appeal of Ancient Greece as an artifact of “past glory”, arriving (via LeGuin!!!) to the lasting meaning we find in these stories. Meaning which Wilson’s more accessible translation brings out.
