Diamine Deep Magenta

[Will]

Another recent purchase. When put alongside other reds/ pinks it seems to dominate. My daughter loves it. Labelling is wrong it is Deep Magenta and not Maroon!!!! :embarrassed_smile:

 

 

This is the Deep Magenta against other burgundies and reds (not very fair as it clashes!). In fact the Amaranth is the nicest of all of them. It is a lovely raspberry red.

Thanks for the review - but I'd call that pink, not maroon!

 

 

In fact, my wife says it's cerise!!

Sorry, Will, but that ink seems to be the same of my "Deep Magenta", are you sure of its name?

Thank you very much for the review. I have been looking for this very color. Your review has saved a lot of time. I appreciate it.

Diamine also produces ink for Yard-O-Led, and I have YOL Claret, which is basically this ink. Although a page full is a bit overpowering and painful on the eyes, I do find it's a brilliant highlighter ink, because it contrasts so well with my usual blues and greens.

I just got some of this and I'm finding that it's rather nice when used on a few notebooks that I have with green-tinted paper. The color of the ink is slightly muted on this paper, so it isn't as bright as it might be on white papers.

 

Magenta was always my favorite color when I was a kid (specifically the magenta Crayola crayon), and this isn't quite the same color, but it's close.
