guess the ink!

@Obi-wan Elegant and lovely...

Chushu /Shimoyo?

Thank you, Yazeh
Good effort, but no, it's neither.

[Yazeh]

Diamine Shimmering sea?
Kobe 23 Nagata Blue?
Aurora Blue Black?
Kitanosaka Night Blue?

Diamine Shimmering sea?

Kitanosaka Night Blue?

No, there's no shimmer in this ink.
None of these four are correct, I'm afraid.

I'll give you one point for merit, but alas, computer says no.

[mizgeorge]

Merit is good

Looking at the bit of sheen, could it be Taccia Ukiyo-E Hiroshige Ainezu?

It could be...



... but it's not.
It looks a lot like it though, with less sheen. And it's a little lighter too, I think.

[Yazeh]

Sailor Studio blue black?

If it weren't for the sheen, I would've said it's an IG ink... Either Registrars/ Essri... but those guys don't sheen....
Maybe KWZ blue black?

[Yazeh]

Montblanc midnight blue?
KWZ Northern Twilight?

No. It's definitely not an IG ink.
This really doesn't have that much sheen. I think it's the reading lamp I was using that makes it look like it does, but there really is very little sheen.

Montblanc midnight blue?
KWZ Northern Twilight?

No. This ink is a bit lighter than these. The nib of that Pelikan M200 is quite wet though.
I think I'll make a new writing sample tomorrow morning. The daylight will hopefully shed some new light on this (pun fully intended).

[Yazeh]

Pelikan blue black?(that would be funny)

A lovely presentation and welcome to the board!
I wanted to say that earlier, but I'm afraid I've been a bit busy lately.

A guess?
How about Lennon Tool Bar Atmospheric Cloudy Day?

Thank you, Thi! You all seem so nice here.

I wasn't familiar with the ink you mentioned so I looked it up and now I want it!
What a beautiful color. I fear that my ink is a lot less intricate than Cloudy Day. Maybe the new pictures taken in daylight will help.

Here is a new ink sample, on Midori paper.





Here it is next to Pelikan Blue Black, especially for you, Yazeh
You'll notice that my ink is not quite as blue.



Here it is on cardstock that I use for my ink swatches.





And finally, a close up of the Midori paper sample:

WOw... that's almost a review on itself.....
DeAtramentis Christopher Columbus, Atlantic Blue? Napoleon Bonaparte/Midnight Blue?

These are all waaaaaaaaaaaay too blue. My ink is more grey, with a hint of blue and a tiny bit of green in it too. Cute little bottle too.
