This is a blue that is pretty interesting.

It's almost like a dark turquoise rather than blue.

It looks great on Rhodia dotPad paper ...

... but looks equally cool (if not cooler!) on tomoe river paper, where the sheen and complex colour are shown off to best advantage.

If you look closely, you can see that the text is light on the inside and darkens as it moves towards the edges of the text. YUMMY!

Overall, this ink is really pretty and I totally love it.

ps. Here's what it looks like mixed with Trametes versicolour. I have great hopes for ink mixing with this ink! It seems to make everything look complex and lovely.

I'm not entirely sure, but I don't think so. I think it was a stitch more Virescens than Versicolour. I just had some Versicolour left in the converter and I added what was left in another converter with Virescens to the Versicolour, trying to finish up the ink in both, so I'm not sure of the exact mix. Generally inks get dark quickly, and since this one is pretty light, I suspect there's more of the light blue than the dark blue in it.

These are wonderful, thank you for posting - you can never have too many Japanese blue inks that have this shading and complexity.

And Steve, it's a turquoise.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

      Thanks for the info (I only used B&W film and learned to process that).   Boy -- the stuff I learn here!  Just continually astounded at the depth and breadth of knowledge in this community! Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth

      >Well, I knew people who were photography majors in college, and I'm pretty sure that at least some of them were doing photos in color,<   I'm sure they were, and my answer assumes that. It just wasn't likely to have been Kodachrome.  It would have been the films I referred to as "other color films." (Kodachrome is not a generic term for color film. It is a specific film that produces transparencies, or slides, by a process not used for any other film. There are other color trans

      @Ceilidh -- Well, I knew people who were photography majors in college, and I'm pretty sure that at least some of them were doing photos in color, not just B&W like I learned to process.  Whether they were doing the processing of the film themselves in one of the darkrooms, or sending their stuff out to be processed commercially?  That I don't actually know, but had always assumed that they were processing their own film.

      Kodachrome 25 was the most accurate film for clinical photography and was used by dermatologists everywhere. I got magnificent results with a Nikon F2 and a MicroNikkor 60 mm lens, using a manually calibrated small flash on a bracket. I wish there were a filter called "Kodachrome 25 color balance" on my iPhone camera.
