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

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.

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.

Actually ISELLPENS has been "closing out" many of the Diamine inks & because of their recent sale have only a few colors left (Asa Blue NOT being one of them.)

 

BUT I did check VANNESS PENS & can say their site does show Asa Blue is "in stock."

Chesterfield Capri may be close to Diamine Royal and ASA blue.

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!

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

Thank you.

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

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
