Mixing Inks, Mixing Sheens?

[EBGBs]

For an attempt at being artsy today I have mixed some Diamine Majestic Blue and Diamine Coral. Both are pretty inks, and both have sheen; Majestic Blue's is red - like always (?) for blue inks, and Coral's sheen is golden, like always (?) for red/orange/pink inks.

 

I guess I expected the mix to sheen; either red (the darker of the 2), or maybe a mix of both.

 

I did get some red sheen (I put more Majestic Blue than Coral), but surprised I was at first to get some green sheen... Before i thought it wasn't all that surprising after all; green sheen is like always (?) for purple inks.

 

Photos below; the combination of red and green sheens is lovely

 

 

And obviously I'm keen to hear your stories about mixes and sheen

Like art. I love it.

Ooh, that looks lovely!

 

I seem to have done something like this accidentally

 

I refilled a pen which had had Diamine Oxblood with Diamine Red Dragon without thinking and figured, eh, it'll probably be fine.

 

I used it on TR today and saw this!

 

 

I mean, in theory Oxblood sheens green and Red Dragon has a tiny bit of nondescript sheen but I've never actually seen it before. Where this gorgeous gold came from? *Shrugs and grins*.
