I followed Shaylen's recipe to make my own mix and it looks awesome. :)

 

Yey!!! I'm so glad it is working for others and isn't just a fluke!

I may have to try that. I love the Tiffany Blue! Now can you please replicate MB British Racing Green? Anyone????

 

I once added some Noodler's Blue to a cartridge that had some Noodler's Zhivago, and it looked dead-on to the pics of MBRG I have seen. I tried a couple of more times and did not replicate it, though always had a pretty green of some sort or another.

Hello! I know I am a bit late getting in on this topic, but I was wondering if anyone had found an ink that best matched Tiffany's signature blue? While searching for a "Tiffany Blue" ink at World Lux, Daphne Blue by Private Reserve looked to be the closest match, but perhaps one of you has found something better?

I have PR Daphne Blue, and while a lovely colour, it's quite blue - I feel that it lacks the green component that makes Tiffany Blue so unique. I think it might be a contender in a mix with some green, however.

This is what I have found. Diamine Soft Mint comes very close, but is maybe just a touch too green. If you didn't want to mix, look into Soft Mint. Otherwise, start there, and add some Daphne Blue.

I believe I saw a swab of the Diamine Soft Mint when I looked through their ink samples. On the tester paper it did look a bit green, but I imagine that could be because of the paper used. I'll definitely try mixing the Soft Mint and the Daphne Blue. I've never mixed inks before, but this sounds like a fun place to start!

 

Thanks so much!

I would have thought Waterman South Sea Blue wasn't far off, but it's so hard to tell. Perhaps the problem is that I've never owned anything by Tiffany :rolleyes: . Anyway, you seem to have found a solution in the meantime.

+1 one of my favs

Have not seen it mentioned (or I missed it) but what about MB Turquoise?

 

I think both of these are just a touch too blue on their own. If I recall correctly, MB Turquoise reminded me VERY much of Daphne Blue.

I've got to say, I tried mixing the inks and it's really close to Tiffany's color! Thanks for the recipe! :thumbup:

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
