islandink Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Does anyone know which colour of Chesterfield is the match for Diamine Asa Blue? I have read through many of the threads but not found this....and I love Asa Blue! Alternatively, anyone know a great inexpensive source for Diamine inks (that does not involve a large shipment from the UK)? Or want to unload some Asa Blue for a good price? thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inkstainedruth Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Where are you located? Here in the US, Goulet Pens, Indy-Pen-Dance, isellpens, ipenstore.com, goldspot.com and Anderson Pens all carry Diamine ink that I know of. Whether any other places do, or which places have Asa Blue in stock, I can't say offhand -- it's not a color I'm particularly interested in.Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth "It's very nice, but frankly, when I signed that list for a P-51, what I had in mind was a fountain pen."

jmccarty3 Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Ordering directly from Diamine is another option. Their prices and shipping costs are not onerous, even to the US. Rationalizing pen and ink purchases since 1967. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUT I did check VANNESS PENS & can say their site does show Asa Blue is "in stock." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

islandink Posted December 20, 2015 Author Share Posted December 20, 2015 Thanks--I am in the US and have ordered Diamine from various places...but for leaving bottles at work where anything could happen the price of Chesterfield is very attractive...and cheaper than any US retailer for Diamine or shipping from the UK. I found a lot of comparisons but none that clarified if Asa Blue was rebranded. I love that colour! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
islandink Posted December 21, 2015 Author Share Posted December 21, 2015 Update None of the Chesterfield inks are Asa Blue (alas) and the "Antiques" (Antique Oxford, Antique Yankee...) are blends of other Diamine colours so not exact matches for any of them in case this is of help to anyone else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amberleadavis Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Thank you. Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas). Create a Ghostly Avatar and I'll send you a letter. Check out some Ink comparisons: The Great PPS Comparison Don't know where to start? Look at the Inky Topics O'day. Then, see inks sorted by color: Blue Purple Brown Red Green Dark Green Orange Black Pinks Yellows Blue-Blacks Grey/Gray UVInks Turquoise/Teal MURKY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
