Interesting blue. Sort of veers off in the direction of blue and white porcelain, like R&K's LE or Diamine's China Blue. Sometimes I think MB makes only blues and reds.

It is very similar to Homer Greek Blue and less vivid compared to BMW.

 

Yes, a lot of blue inks lately and even more coming 😅

Yes, that’s right isn’t it, in terms of recent LE inks we’ve had The Beatles, Kipling,  Ludwig and Victor Hugo that wandered from the well trodden path but otherwise you are correct Michael, there have been lots of reds and blues! St.Exupery would probably be the first bottle I would reach for of all my inks if I could just take one. Napoleon looks like it’s worth a go though, thanks for sharing Michael.

I keep coming back to this page to have another look at the ink. At first sight a fairly standard blue. But there is some touch of sky blue there, that makes it look really attractive. Tempting!

And let us not forget the memorable Miles Davis ink. Miles was due so much batter!
