*Note: I don't know if Diamine Florida Blue is still being sold as a limited edition ink. This review is of a bottle of Diamine Florida Blue purchased from The Writing Desk (www.thewritingdesk.co.uk) nearly a year ago -- designated as Limited Edition #49/1000. TWD's site still indicates that this is a limited edition ink. However, Pendemonium's site is silent on whether the bottles sold on their site are limited edition.

I really like that color. Is it true that the Private Reserve Tropical Blue is like this color? Anybody have experience with what I'm talking about?

PR Tropical is VERY similar, slighter heavier saturation

I recently bought a bottle (incl. handwritten LE number card); super happy to discover this ink is now regular-production. I love it.

Thanks for the hint. Mediterranean Blue was already very close to Diamine Florida Blue LE, but the addition is still welcome - although I still have two LE bottles ...

Agree that the saturation was a bit lower than I was hoping for but in a 50:50 mix with DCSS blue it is very similar to "TanzAm" blue:
