Papier Plume - Oyster Gray . . .

[Tas]

I fell for this little sample straight away !

No feathering experienced on any paper I've used it on.

Rhodia (above) dry time was just under 30s on "normal" paper between 5-10s. Clean crisp lines on everything and overall a joy to use.

 

Really encouraging too that on hearing a few grumbles from me on shipping costs outside the US Papier Plume contacted me to advise that they have reviewed things and made shipping much more reasonable. A company that listens to its customers, not too many of those left.

 

If you're after a coolish grey with wonderful manners I'd place an order for a bottle. they come in three sizes too. Mine will be a "large". Thank you amberleadavis and TheRealScubaSteve (and all involved) in sending this sample across the pond.

It's been in my Ahab for five days now. Starts first time every time. Not many inks play that well in my Ahab.

Absolutely love the drawings in the review.

Grey inks are important for us who like to sketch and draw.

 

My current favorite is OMAS New Grey. But I like this one too.

I wonder where to buy this in US?

Thank you.

Try a small bottle if you like but I'd cut out the middle man and go for the large here. Good luck

Very nice.

I'm still trying to navigate grays, but trust that this will be a choice purchase. The other colors look grand as well! Caramel, Midnight Blue, Moss Green, Pecan--five more inks for me. OoOoOoOh! And they'll blend inks on request too!

 

Thanks for the heads-up on Papier Plume. Never heard of them until now.

Tas,

 

Great as always. It certainly looks near identical to your beloved Blue Merle.

If you like lighter/more vibrant blues, the Peacock Blue is a wonderful color. The Moss Green is pretty cool because it changes color. When wet, it's way more yellowish.
