Burgoyne Or Chartres Blue Platinum 3776?

Chartres blue. For me no contest. GREAT pen!!

Thanks for all of the recommendations! This is a great community. Obviously there is no right or wrong answer to this question. I went to the DC pen Show this past Saturday and fortunately was able to see and closely examine both colors in person. This is my only subjective opinion and YMMV, but while the Burgundy was indeed very nice, the Chartres Blue was at another level. An amazing shade of blue that instantly reminded me of the "Cool Blue" Montblanc pen (which costs big bucks for the privilege). Anyway, I happily went with the 3776 Blue and consider myself a lucky writer...I appreciate everyones thoughts!

The red does not look like any red people see on a day to day basis. It really is this deep wine color, and pictures dont do it justice. There is a heaviness to the colour, a deepness. Its transparent, but the colour is so rich and saturated that its almost opaque. The plastic itself is that colour, and we dont see plastics with that colour in our day to day life very often. Its like bromine. Glad you found the pen you like though, and I hope you enjoy it.

Looking at the Red and Blue together I had to go for the Red though blue is my favorite color normally.

I have the Bourgogne 3776, with a medium nib. Gorgeous writer. Starts every single time, with a lovely precise line. The only reason for different colors, is it makes a convenient excuse for one of each. And that's not even considering the various available nibs. I like the 3776 so much any excuse will do!
