Your ink reviews are always thorough and nicely done, Penguin! Thanks for sharing your thoughts on Midnight Blue. I love the color, but wish it was faster to dry.

Thanks, I really appreciate it! Yes I wish it took less time to dry as well.

Could anyone tell me how this color compares to Art Brown's Manhattan Blue or FPN's Starry Night? I have all three and they look pretty much the same.

 

(I also use these inks in pens with fine nibs - even the wider "fine" of the Lamy 2000 - and they all seem to be more black than blue. Has anyone else had the same results?)

 

Thanks, Chris

I only have Manhattan Blue, but other reviewers have said they're quite close, a little difference in a tad more black, or blue. Perhaps you can do a scan for us? It's okay to conclude at the end of your review that if you have one you don't need the others.

In my little ink sample book that I have been slowly building Noodler's Midnight blue seems slightly lighter and more blue, whereas Starry Night seems a little darker and more towards a very cool black undertone. Out of my wetter writing pens both get very dark, with Starry Night looking more like a cool black and Midnight Blue a very dark navy.

 

Please excuse the messiness of my samples. They were only made for my personal reference and not intended to be presentable. They were done on a Rhodia note pad and the ink names to the left are written with vintage Skrip Blue-Black.

It would be interesting to see a comparative scan that includes the FPN color. A couple years ago, there was an excellent and comprehensive comparative review here of Manhattan Blue, PR Midnight Blues, and I seem to recall another blue? Midnight Blue?, concluding the same thing, although there were some slight differences among them.

I think that this is the review of which you write:

It is interesting.

Thanks to all for the interesting and useful replies to my question!

 

I seem to favor the Midnight Blue; it's going into my new FC Mondoro soon.
