The ink appears much, much darker to me then the olive-ish color in that picture on the linked page. Really its just about 100% black, with just the tiniest faintest undertones of green. I am at work right now, so I cannot take any pictures specifically of the ink, but check out
these pictures I recently posted on FPN. Scroll to the bottom of this thread, the pictures are close ups of my M760. The writing in that pictures is done in Noodlers Zhivago. You can see how black it looks. Only when I get my eye really close to the page can I see the green, or when I blink while looking at it the proper lighting can reveal the green undertones.
I have also heard that Noodlers Aircorp Blue-Black is actually Green-Black. I have never used this ink myself.
