So I got bored and I had some samples left and I decided to mash them up and the result was a beautiful dark purple. The mix is equal parts of: Rouge hematite, stormy grey, de atramentis Atlantic blue and noodler's Navy. The gold sparkle is outrageous as expected. I just loved it.

It flows ok and with a fine ef twsbi it still looks very pretty. I imagine that with a wetter nib the gold flare will pop-up even more. Water resistance is legible but it does get really washed out. I'll try to get some decent pictures so you can get what shade of purple this is. Cheers

:0 thanks! Now they can see the pictures without having to go to a link <3 I mainly browse the forums on my phone so it's not quite the simple to upload them, but I'll try next time.

That is one amazing color.... :puddle:

I do have one question, though -- which version of Rouge Hematite did you use? I've got a bottle with the big flakes in it, but I understand that there was one batch that didn't have them at all, and I'm not sure what the third iteration is like.

I'm really not sure, I bought it on Amazon and it's the first bottle of ink I had. I suppose it's the most recent batch.

Zdez, You've single-handedly just instigated the addition of Rouge Hematite and Stormy Grey to my wishlist. Your ink mix takes them both into a region of every-day colour I'd use and really enjoy - the originals just weren't my type. Thanks for experimenting!

 

Edited: off the wishlist, samples ordered already.

Hahaha I know that feeling. I still have like 90 samples to order, my wallet is not ready yet :v and I want to order a Ne when first. Hope you like it and I recommend using a fine-medium or a medium nib to get a dark color like in the pictures or basically a wet nib. Cheers

      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..

      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
