Ballpoint refill for a purply blue?

[Betty]

May I ask what brand has ballpoint refills for blue where the blue has a purply tinge to it. It seems very hard to find a refill with that color. I don't want the Papermate blue color.

 

I did however get a free cheapie but cool pen at Commerce Bank and their blue is exactly the color I want. Thanks!

 

I'm going to start with the refill and then I'm going to shop for a pen that fits that refill. I'm going backwards.

This may not help much, but until a year ago, Parker made the gel ballpoint refills in black, blue, red, green, turquoise and purple. Then they discontinued the green, turquoise and purple.

While I'm hunting the nice dark turquoise ones, sometimes I also see the purples somewhere in the world on ebay.

I don't want complete purple (along the likes of waterman purple). I want a brighter blue, and it happens to have a bit of purple in it it seems, almost like aurora blue or pr tarzanite.

I think Levenger has refills for both ballpoints and rollerballs in their ink colors. Cobalt has a rich purpley undertone, to my eye. I don't know if their ballpoint refill would fit all ballpoint pens, tho.

 

Edited: I just checked their Web site and they only have rollerballs and felt (fiber) tip refills in Cobalt, no ballpoints. Sorry!

I've found that Parker's FINE POINT ballpoint refills are a purply blue. And Paper Mate's FINE POINT ballpoint refills are exactly the same as Parker's, in terms of color. It's not at all like the medium refill color.
