I'll start off by saying that I think out of the inks I got at LA, this is the winner.

I don't think this is one of my better splashes.

 

If you're seeing blues and purples in this, you are not insane. The ink, however, is so mind-boggleingly complex that it's hard to describe the color. It also behaves extraordinarily well - it doesn't bleed except on the worst of papers, and doesn't feather. No water resistance to note of, however. It also may feel dry in pens with less flow.

It sheens a strange purple, but of the matte sort. No Majestic blue/PPS going on here.

Pen used: Conklin 2NL with a Platinum nib

Mandatory Inky.

A most curious colour (and name)!

Love the ink. Does everything the review says it does.

[mehandiratta]

i gotta ink it up....

[migo984]

A fascinating ink & one of my new favourites. It's going with me to Australia next week :-)

[visvamitra]

Excellent review.

[white_lotus]

Interesting, your version is much darker than mine.

[mmg122]

Excellent review of a very interesting color. We are certainly in the Golden Age of inks.

Excellent review of a very interesting color. We are certainly in the Golden Age of inks.

And isn't it a great adventure? I have purchased close to 20 inks in the past month & am just as happy with each arrival as I can be. Trying the new inks in "old friend" pens makes it a wonderful way to cope with winter weather.

Oooh. Waaaant! Must HAAAAAAVE!

I don't normally like browns that lean red (or burgundy inks, for that matter). But I like this one....

Sigh. I really need to stop reading ink reviews.... It always ends up as a case of "Danger, danger Will Robinson!"

I'm so glad I could try this one! I love it!

+1 It's somber enough for professional use but the mauve-y hint makes it fun. And it's very well behaved.
