Twilight - Diamine

[visvamitra]

Manufacturers since 1864, Diamine Inks relocated to this purpose built 'state of the art' factory in Liverpool in 1925, where they successfully carried on using the traditional methods and formulas for ink production. Over the years the company has changed hands and are now located close to the world famous Aintree Race Course

Diamine Twilight can be considered as a member of blue-blacks family. It's a solid performer with some shading and good overall performance (unless lack of water resistance is an issue). The color is quite complex - it leans towards green, grey, and teal-like hues, depending on the pen/paper combination you use. It's not bad, but this kind of color is not my favourite one.

Waterman Mysterious Blue, Montblanc Twilight Blue and even Sailor Sei-boku come into mind...

Thanks for the excellent review. Not going to be a favorite of mine either.

Twilight was love at first sight. I recall it being much darker in my P45 than it looks here; on good paper, I think there is still probably no more beautiful color, the blue/green complement of Miruai's green/blue.

Totally does it for me.

Lovely color. I'll leave an extra chocolate chip cookie. Maybe Santa will bring me a bottle (of the ink)

I like it on white paper, but not on cream paper. It becomes to green on cream paper.
