My samples of Purple inks are coming in, but let's proceed on to my goal to collect the rainbow.

So how about blues? I don't like blues with hints of purple. I need something like a royal blue.

I will be using Claifontaine tablets. I may use an italic nib/medium, so shading is a bonus.

 

Thanks!!!

Browse thru the samples on the Goulet web site.

 

But be aware that most monitors are not color calibrated, and it is very unlikely that Brian has a color calibrated photo setup. So there is some amount of color variation that the sample is subject to. But a simple reference is the paper he is writing on, it should be WHITE. If you see a color cast on the white paper, then your monitor will not display the ink color correctly.

I've been loving Noodler's Liberty Elysium lately. A true blue that writes really well. Exclusive at Goulet's.

The brightness of a blue is probably due to the presents of a yellow or purple. I think the quiet eloquence of

Private Reserve's DC Supershow Blue is a pure blue.

Noodler's Luxury Blue has some decent shadying (with my medium point Shaeffer Legacy) and is a nice blue, but not eye-grabbing electric blue like the Bay State Blue. Their Upper Ganges Blue is also nice without any violet/purple.

Baystate Blue has a bit too much red in it for my likes - but I know others adore it.

DA Royal Blue is tinged towards purple.

I always thought that purple was the color associated with royalty, hence most Royal Blues contain a certain amount. I have MB Royal Blue cartridges that definitely have some purple in the mix. Noodler's Blue is a great blue to me. Some of the Levenger blues are nice,too.

Baystate blue has a twinge of purple to it. It's a fun ink, but it's pretty mean, too. I have a steel nib I'd swear was stained with it (but it might just be my imagination)

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..
    • A Smug Dill
      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
