guess the ink!

[Yazeh]

Hurry is definitely not the problem. Should you be a brain dead masochist wish to get the full Weevil Burrows experience, click on a link and stare at the ceiling for two, maybe three minutes before looking at the result. Then click on another link, including the ceiling staring contest. Repeat five or six times. Maybe seven. Then imagine that's just one page you want to load. Then imagine doing that and the page never loads.

I AM GOING INSANE WITH FRUSTRATION HERE. (Turns out there isn't a computer breaking smilie on here. Sigh.)

However, a new day, evidently no-one else is up yet, so finally I have success:

You can practicing counting your breath in and out with a 5 second rhythm.... it can help.....

Diamine Purple Dream?

Ah, no. That would appear to be a bit too red, and definitely too saturated. Also:

It's not a Diamine ink. (gasp!)

Gasp indeed I nearly fell off my perch
Graf violet blue?

[grainweevil]

Not a GvFC ink. Maybe a bit too blue, but it's such a hard thing to judge with purples as everyone's perception differs more with them than, it seems, any other colour. Something I remembered only after I'd chosen this ink.

Lamy Crystal Azurite or Pelikan 4001 Violet?

[grainweevil]

Lamy Crystal Azurite

Looks to be rather too saturated.

Pelikan 4001 Violet?

Saturation is very similar, but 4001 is pinker.

It's neither Lamy nor Pelikan.

[Yazeh]

I doubt if it's Herbin's Violette Pensée. What about Califolio's Violet?
Where is Jens. He's the king of dry ink

[grainweevil]

King of dry ink or no, where is Jens?

Don't know Callifolio Violet, but a search suggests it may edge too blue mayhap. Violette Pensée I do know, and is considerably paler. If I thought I could get the pic to upload, I'd do you a comparison with that and a guess or two you've already made.

But nil desperandum, a happy side effect is that I will eliminate the inks of France from your options.

[Yazeh]

I doubt if it's Kyoto tag, soft snow of ohara?

[inkguesser]

Robert Oster Aust. Opal Mauve?

[grainweevil]

I doubt if it's Kyoto tag, soft snow of ohara?

You doubt correctly. I would consider that a blue. And, wait for it... it's not from Japan. (more gasps)

Robert Oster Aust. Opal Mauve?

That appears to be trending a little too pink too, but on the other hand it has ventured into geographically warmer waters.

Robert Oster Bishop to the king?

[Yazeh]

Not so sure but TWSBI royal purple... the colour looks a tad pale though

mb psychedelic purple?

[grainweevil]

Sorry, can't look them up to see how visually close your guesses are at the moment.

Robert Oster Bishop to the king?

Nope.

Not TWSBI

Are, so you've swanned in at last, Jens. Nope, not R&K

Van Dieman's Black Tongue Spider Orchid?

Sounds exciting, but it's not it.

mb psychedelic purple?

'Fraid not.

Let us utterly remove Germany and all its inks from the possibilities.

Troublemaker Purple Yam?
Robert Oster Deep Purple?
