What Kind Of Blues Do You Like?

[hoipolloi]

Blue-greens, teals, blue-blacks, turquoises...?

[Wheatflower]

Blue-greens, teals, blue-blacks, turquoises...?

Yes.

[lapis]

No, I need blacks and/or reds in them. Or "simply" a "pure" blue.

[ScienceChick]

Blue-blacks not so much but the others -yes. And sky blue and violet-tinged blues and cobalt blues.

[Rocket1]

Blurple, true blues and paler blues. I like some teals and turquoises, but I don't like blue black...

[Helen350]

Love a nice blue/black; teal; deep blues; turquoise; midnight blue; cobalt....Love Noodler's Bad Belted Kingfisher

[SujiCorp12345]

Turquiose-like blues are probably my favourite. Stuff like Kon-peki, South Seas Blue, Sky High, Asa Blue, etc...

Diamine's Sapphire Blue & Presidential Blue as well as Pelikan's Royal Blue. In addition I like Waterman's Turquoise, and Pilot's Sky Blue G2 pens. I have a platinum sky blue cartridge to try yet, I'll let you know how that goes.

 

Not a big teal fan, or blue black so much.

Blurples ("sapphires")--I don't consider Penman Sapphire to be a true sapphire, but it's been years since I bought it and didn't like it, so I might not be remembering it correctly. I like blue-purples in all ratios up to straight purple--I have so many I'll never use them up. I love BSB, but it's not worth the hassle.

[FlyFast]

Piedmont, Country, and Hill Country Blues in that order.

Oh wait, you meant ink not music. For ink it's a true blue that's highly saturated.

[amberleadavis]

Blurples that are wet, free flowing, water resistant and fade resistant.

[Morwen]

Blurples and cobalts are my favourites, but basically anything that is a bright intense color. I hate washed-out blues, and I am not a fan of turqoise or blue-black.

[dragos.mocanu]

Blue leaning turquoise (Pelikan Türkis) and dark turquoise (Noodler's BBK)...not teal...that has way too much green in it.

[siopaopei]

I like 'em really dark. My favorite is still Noodler's Blue Black:

 

 

I recently tried a few blue inks from Diamine and so far I'm liking the colors of Bilberry and Twilight.

[Bigeddie]

Blue-Blacks and Blues with a degree of gravitas at high density (e.g. MB Royal Blue).

 

Blues make me happy

[adyf]

If a blue has to be anything in addition to blue, leaning towards purple rather than green.

[pmhudepo]

De Atramentis Sherlock Holmes is very nice, but also very dark. Perhaps a bit too much for me. Never really like blue-blacks or very light or turqoise inks.

Iroshizuku Asa-gao is my current favorite. Very well-behaved, nice shade of blue, wonderful ink. I use it mostly with F or M nibs. Downside: it is quite expensive.

[Kuscer]

True blues, some dark cobalt shades, fewer blue-blacks, but some still, yes, and my favorite- absolutely in love with this one: Iroshizuku Shin-kai and last but certainly not least - MontBlanc Midnight Blue

Just got some P.W. Ackerman #4 Nassaus Blauw, and I can't recommend it too highly.

[Morphling27]

All of them. Never enough blue ink in this world.
