Ok, than I take the opportunity and claim it is: J.Herbin Orange Indien.

Correct, you made an "Abstauber"!

So it's your turn for the next game.

Well, it´s not an Elephant, but I hope a Crocodile is also accepted.

And of course also some writing with the ink as well.

GAME ON !!!

Hi,

my Robert Oster Blue Night looks similar... so it's my guess.

[Pterodactylus]

Not a bad guess, but itˋs not a Robert Oster ink.

The ink we are searching is an awesome shader, has reddish sheen and almost no water resistance.

[SchaumburgSwan]

Hmm, De Atramentis?

Yes it's shading looks great...

If we would just tic off the manufacturers that fast it would be too easy, isn’t it?

So if you think it could might be a De Atramentis ink then please choose one

[Pterodactylus]

Maybe some sheen macros will help.

.... or even if they do not help at least they look cool and show another aspect of this ink

Guess Sheen 2 by Ptero Ptero


Guess Sheen 3 by Ptero Ptero


To be honest, this ink is quite new in my arsenal, but it impressed me right from the start.

[grainweevil]

Love the croc, Ptero! No idea on the ink tho', but impressive sheen.

Diamine Oxford Blue? Hard to tell if it has any underlying green in it or not...

[Pterodactylus]

Diamine Oxford Blue? Hard to tell if it has any underlying green in it or not...

🐞 the unknown ink has teal/turquoise/greenish undertones (I think it can be seen in the writing sample), Oxford Blue is also an amazing ink, but much more on the blue side.

So no it‘s not Oxford Blue and itˋs also not a Diamine ink.

[Pterodactylus]

To answer the question about the color components of the unknown ink I´ve created this:

Guess - Ink Components by Ptero Ptero

We can see that the unknown ink is a quite complex ink containing several blue and green components.

The unknown ink is a complex quite high saturated ink.

I guess with these inputs it should be possible to narrow down the possible inks or even find it

PR Electric Blue?

[Pterodactylus]

PR Electric Blue?

Not bad, also a great shader with a lot of sheen, but too much on the blue side, no it’s not a Private Reserve ink.

Additional hint: The ink come from a different continent than PR.

Keep the guesses coming

colourverse 22 - cat

[Pterodactylus]

colourverse 22 - cat

Cat looks also very interesting, unfortunately I don’t own Cat yet.
It is also not a Colorverse ink.

Next hint:
The unknown ink is not as new as the Colorverse inks, but it is also quite new on the market.

Blackstone Barrier Reef Blue? I'm not sure when Blackstone entered the market...

[Pterodactylus]

Blackstone Barrier Reef Blue? I'm not sure when Blackstone entered the market...

Wow 🐞 ..... almost there, it is not Barrier Reef but otherwise you can‘t be closer.... try again

Blackstone started end of 2014 begin of 2015.

[roughly100ladybugs]

I guess it's Sydney Harbor Blue then? Those are really the only two Blackstone blues I am familiar with

Aaaaannnnndddd we have a winner!!!

Congrats 🐞,

Your turn

[roughly100ladybugs]

The new mystery ink is an ink i recently acquired. No sheen, but all around a nice ink that fits well in a winter palette.
