Oh, now that's funny.

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

Vis needs some CYAN-ide!

 

 

And that's punny.

Is there not a blue soft drink? It could well be called CYAN-ade...

I have a mix which I call CYANide. It's a 1:1 blend of Pelikan 4001 Turquoise and Diamnie majestic blue. You end up with a deep turquoise with a bit of sheen. Very nice.

Oh, why does this remind me of some ice cream I got a couple of years ago an ice cream stand across the river from me. The stuff was called "Blue Moon". It was artificial blue ice cream, cotton candy flavor, and it had multicolored mini marshmallows in it. And yes, it was as revoltingly sicky-sweet as it sounds.... :sick:

And then there's this old George Carlin routine:

"Why is there no blue food? I can't find blue food - I can't find the flavor of blue! I mean, green is lime; yellow is lemon; orange is orange; red is cherry; what's blue? There's no blue! Oh, they say, "Blueberries!" Uh-uh; blue on the vine, purple on the plate. There's no blue food! Where is the blue food? We want the blue food! Probably instores immortality! They're keeping it from us!"

"It's very nice, but frankly, when I signed that list for a P-51, what I had in mind was a fountain pen."

@dcwaites - that may be a good idea.

@lgsoltek - your moral compass isn't working.

@amberlea - funny and punny, as it should be in such cases :)

@mariom - actually, this color looks kinda nice. The ones I viscerally hate are cyano-turquoises (the likes of Diamine Soft Mint or Caran d'Ache caribbean Blue).

@inkstainedruth - while most blue stuff is inedible, blueberries, blackberries, blue milk mushroom are but then they all look more like bluerples than blues. Nice quote by the way.

      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
