No, it isn't a PenBBS ink.

mizgeorge, you have the brand and one word in the name of the ink.

[mizgeorge]

Inkebara Evening / Sea / Midnight / Foggy / Sky / Capri Blue

YES! The ink is Inkebara Sea Blue! Well done, mizgeorge!

I just recently got a sample from Vanness. I haven't loaded it in a pen yet, so I am not sure how well it will perform. But I like the color.

It is back to you, mizgeorge.

Thanks. Dr. P, that was fun!
Great job @mizgeorge.

[mizgeorge]

LOL - it wasn't until I looked that I realised just how many blues they make. I do enjoy their inks though.

Thank you DrPenfection - that was fun!

I'll be back...

I'll be back...

I'm hoping it's your new grey ink

[DrPenfection]

I'm off on another jaunt to the field. I'll try to drop in when I can.

Enjoy your field trip and watch for the elks

Sorry for the slow response - I've been mostly hibernating this week...

So, the problem was finding the right ink for a new pen. I'd decided I wanted to go grey rather than brown this time, the first attempt was OK, but not right, and didn't perform as I wanted it to with the nib either. So I tried again. I think I'm closer this time.

It's the second ink you're looking for, with bonus kudos for the first (though it's easy enough to find).

And just to confirm that it's not the same ink, #2 (the one you're looking for) is on the left.

Ok my night filter is on, so these are wild goose guesses

Ferris Wheel Press Moss Park Green?
Sailor Yurameku - Seki?
TM Kelp?

[mizgeorge]

None of these - it definitely is a grey with no green undertone.

[Yazeh]

Montblanc StarWalker? Cool Grey?
Graf von Faber-Castell Stone Grey?
Smoky QUartz?

[mizgeorge]

Nor these - though a couple were in the running

[BCDDiggler]

lamy crystal agate

[mizgeorge]

No, it's quite a bit darker and no green.

Suiseki? Laban Athena?

Visconti - Old vineyard with peasant woman?
Fuyu -Syogun?
De Atramentis - Happy Silver day?
Rohrer & Klingner Thea?
