Visconti Blue

[lgsoltek]

Visconti Blue is a rich and intense colour. Someone asked in Inky Thoughts about a colour close to International Klein Blue (I saw a painting of it in Centre Pompidou and it just captures your eyes). I think Visconti Blue is a good contender.

A classic.

It definitely looks like what I call a full-bodied "pure" blue: both high value and high chroma. Seems to have passable water ressitance as well. A good alternate to Majestic Blue and Electric Blue? (if only Visconti were cheaper or at least easier to find here)

As re a "pure" and rich blue in general, this definitely remains one of a small handful of them. (For me, of course, but also for many other members.)

Another nice review, another one now on my list.

Hey MB, this is how you make a blue!

[Tas]

You show it so well.

Thank you.

Do cartridges and bottles have the same hue? I've tested some cartridges and I don't see that beautiful power blue.

"Power blue"... that's a good one. Sorta gets me thinking that the new MB Miles thing is a wimp blue.

It's tough to do justice to the visual pop one gets from Visconti Blue. You nailed it, Lgsoltek. Excellent showcasing of a great ink.

Hey MB, this is how you make a blue!

 

This looks very nice. Is that sheen I'm seeing? I'd like to see a side by side with Akkerman Shocking Blue, and Diamine Oxford Blue, both of which I have.

Thanks for the review.

Love this blue almost as much as Sailor Sky High.

This has become one of my favorites as well... beautiful, rich color. My only gripe with it is it takes forever and a day to flush out.

I have put it on my list of possible or likely inks.

Thanks for the review -- that is a beautiful blue! I am seriously tempted to get a bottle.

Thanks for the review. As far as I'm concerned, this is THE BLUE ink.
