Indigo. Not Royal Blue and not just a dark blue. I define it as a dark blue near violet, but still blue. Diamine Denim seems right, but I was hoping for more choices so I can pick inks for different performance characteristics.

Thanks

From looking at the Goulet Swab shop:

DeAtramentis Giuseppe Verdi and Sherlock Holmes, Dragon, Indigo Blue
Diamine Indigo, Midnight.
Noodler's Bad Belted Kingfisher...
I would say Denim is quite a way off violet...

Hmmm, I like all of these...

You might also consider Private Reserve Black Magic Blue and Midnight Blues. Black Magic Blue is very much a dark blue with violet tendencies. Midnight Blues is more of a true blue.

This is when I wish Kaweco would sell their ink in bottle form. Kaweco Blue-Black is nice and I don't like too many blue blacks.

Thanks for the help.

It is funny how perceptions differ. I was told Bad Belted Kingfisher was a greenish blue and that Denim was almost exactly Indigo.

I will order some samples and see. I am really hoping Kingfisher works out.
