An Ink Like Sailor Shigure

[jcgara]

I'm looking for a dark purple similar to Sailor Shigure - any suggestions?

Take a look at the new Sailor Ink studio inks. Perhaps there is something of your choice.

May I suggest KWZ ig gummyberry. It is an ig ink, so after oxidization its quite dark and muted purple.

Diamine Midnight is not quite the same colour but similar properties - excellent behaviour and very wet.

Rohrer & Klingner Aubergine is a lovely dark purple, but has a bit more red to it.

 

Another you may want to consider is Franklin Christoph Tenebris Purpuratum, which is a very dark purple.

Sailor Chu Su is a dark Purple Gray, and Birmingham Pen Co. has quite a few purples on offer. DeAtrementis Aubergine/Alexander Hamilton is a very dark, well behaved purple.

If you want a black-purple similar to the Shigure, I've seen that the Bungubox Ink of the Witch is one of the darkest purple out there but still has that purple tone to it.

Be prepared to splash a little bit more cash though

Blackbird Starling purple is a nice dark one, albeit leaning a tad towards brownish

Krishna Silent Night Sky is also nice, but a bit of a blurple

Diamine amazing amethyst is a tad lighter but also gorgeous 🙂

It looks as if nibs dot com still has a 50ml bottle for 18$ (if you would accept Shigure rather than something like it).

Most of the dark purple inks I have used are either redder or grayer than Shigure. On the redder/browner side, Sailor Kobe Suma Purple is gorgeous but more expensive than Shigure.

 

I agree that Birmingham Pen Company has many purples that a fan of Shigure is likely to enjoy, and at a much lower cost.

Funny that I'm writing with that today. Best from my end would be Diamine Grape.

Diamine Damson is kind of close. That might fit the bill.
