[etzbseder]

Im wondering if anyone knows what blue ink would be closest to this?

 

Name: UA Blue

Hex: #0038B8

RGB: (0, 56, 184)

CMYK: 1, 0.695, 0, 0.278

In case you are curious like I was you can see what color it is in this Google link https://www.google.com/search?q=%230038B8&rlz=1C5CHFA_enUS705US705&oq=%230038B8&aqs=chrome..69i57.1621j0j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

Maybe Diamine Blue Velvet? Not scientific, just eyeballing it. Unfortunately, the same ink can look different depending on paper and pen used with it, sometimes dramatically different.

Diamine Blue Velvet was my first thought too. Maybe Diamine Sapphire.

There are many blue inks that are this shade though, most ink manufacturer's will have one. In addition to Diamine check out Monteverde and J.Herbin colour charts, and maybe some Sailor colours will match this one.

Diamine Blue Velvet was my first thought too. Horizon Blue is the equivalent from Monteverde.

Another option might be Birmingham Panther Blue.

I suggest BSB.

Check out visvamitra's color-picker renditions of Diamine Blue Velvet, Organics Studio Nitrogen, Pilot Iroshizuku Asa-Gao, Visconti Blue, and Kawecko Royal Blue. To my eyeballs, they're all fairly close to 38b8, even though their numerical values don't seem all that close. And based on my unscientific review, I vote Organics Studio Nitrogen.

I don't use BSB

Asa Gao might also be close?

[minddance]

Asa Gao on absorbent and/or wet pen, probably. In a dry pen, it is soft, poetic and weak.

BSB is much more purple in real life than it appears in scans. The purple tint just doesn't register accurately on electronic sensors somehow. (I also suspect that some people don't see it well either. Everyone's eyes are a little different.)

 

Also be aware… Perception of any blue hue will tend to vary somewhat with its density, or darkness. What I mean is: if you put your blue ink in a dry pen, it'll appear to lean more toward aqua or sky blue, whereas if you put the same ink into a wet pen that writes a darker line, it will seem more indigo or purple-ish. The same effect can be seen when diluting an ink.

I like the lighter shade of the diamond blue velvet.

 

FYI that blue Im trying to match is the blue of the Israel flag. That may make it easier to determine matches. Im partial to Montblanc but I dont know that they have this color.
