I have just started using this ink and really like the colour. I just filled my pen for the second time (it's a Pilot Vanishing Point) and noticed the colour has changed. I suspect thus is because the first time I filled it I had just washed it and the ink was diluted. The previous ink was Iroshizuku Asa Gao. Here's a picture showing before and after. The second fill is much bluer and seems to lack the greenish-grey colour. I think I like the first colour better. Has anyone else experienced this variation?

Just had a thought. I shook the bottle and the great colour is back! So my lesson is - shake the bottle before filling. I just gave the bottle a gentle inversion two times and the delightful grey-green is back. Might this explain the differing views on the colour of 54th?
Interesting....
