Any other alternatives for Van Dieman's Zucchini?

Question

Hello! I have a lot of ink samples from my hoarding spree (was not a great time but I'm happy I'm out), which I try to use up. I happen to come across a sample for Zucchini and LOVED it—it's the perfect green-black and works well with my Kakuno EF. However, no one's selling it anymore (maybe even discontinued, considering the nature of the series inks), and I'm hunting for alternatives! Monteverde's Jade Noir is out (no one around me seems to be carrying it, either 😂)

I've read reviews from Mountain of Ink and The Well-Appointed Desk regarding such but I'm not really sure on what to choose! If you've gotten Zucchini once and has sought out alternatives, I would want to know your alternatives and opinions. Of course, nothing would be an exact match, so there'll be a few hit or misses. Let me know your thoughts!
