Diamine 150 Anniversary 1864 Blue-Black

That really is rather lovely!

Same here- I'm picking up grey and maybe a little green at times. But maybe that's just my Waterman Mystery Blue related PTSD talking.

 

I thought I was going to love this one, but I just didn't. It's not really a blue black. It's a stealth black. Ninety percent of the time, it just looks black. It has to be great lighting to see the blue.

Thanks so much for this review. I just ordered a bottle based on your comments. I look forward to trying it out. I've been looking for a dark blue black and this seems to fill the bill.

Yup, I tried to use this as an alternative to plain black. I thought it would still be dark enough for sign-offs, but still add a little colour. It just looks like a dirty black though.

Looks like a black with character. I'm going to have to try this in a sample.

 

I loved Diamine eclipse because the purple added a beautiful softness to the dark color that was practically black.

How do you guys like this ink on Tomoe River Paper (52 g)? Is it too dark for it?
