guess the ink!

As silver lifter opted for blue, I followed his lead. The quote is by Yves Klein, French artist.
His name is written in Baystate Blue. But the text is in the mystery ink, which I have as a sample.

Enjoy

Hi,

Akkerman Shocking Blue!?

Jens

Not Akkerman. I don't discern any sheen on this ink.
Note this is written with a fude nib.

Hi,

what about Pilot Iroshizuku Kon-Peki?

Jens

Darker than Kon-Peki, it would be closer to Namiki Blue.

**Yazeh** · January 31st, 2020, 02:47 PM

Neither of them. But you're not that far off

I see, the fude nib makes it brighter...
So it could be Pilot Iroshizuku Shin-kai?

Tomoe River gives almost a golden sheen to this ink. I should have stuck with Rhodia.
Here it is with Jinhao #6 nib. It almost looks black..
Apolgizes, I'm not savvy at color correcting......But I thought the contrast with Baystate might give you an idea....

I checked Pilot Iroshizuku Shin-kai. Defintetly not in that color range. There's more purple in this ink...

God, I hope it isn't one of the Sailor inks, we could be guessing for months...

I thought this was supposed to be fun

Sailor Jentle Blue has a slight sheen, but I don't see that on the TR paper, so Storia Night Blue?

]I don't think this ink is known for it's sheen. And personally, if I had a bottle I wouldn't use it in fine/ medium nib. It's an ink that would look lovely with flex/fude nib to show all its shading potential.
Not a storia / studio/ bungubox!
