This is one of my favorites. It is nice and bright and very smooth writing. Thanks for the review and color samples!

I agree with you - it's probably my favorite lightish blue (it's not that light, but it's about as light as I'm prepared to go...). I'm surprised you don't see shading - I see it in your scan and when I use it. It mixes nicely with some other PR blues, too - e.g. I'm rather fond of a 50:50 mix with American Blue.
