Help me find a blue black

[stub]

I'll try the Aurora of course. The 2 inks they already make are just outstanding in every way but again must reaffirm my undying love for Sailor Blue Black. I am really surprised more folks are not into it and that I have seen so many "meh" or "this ink suck (see:Penhabit)" type reviews. It is a great color, had great properties and performance. I have it in like 8 pens right now. It is by far the best regular production non-IG Blue Black I have yet used. I love the color on the Pelikan Tanzanite but the performance of the Sailor is vastly superior. Better flow and lubrication, less feathering, just as easy to clean out.

I didn't love the Tolstoy. Not my color. Too inbetween a bright sky high or a plain blue, hints of teal. Just not my thing, much as I adore MB inks.

As for a darker Sky High/Konpeki cerulean color, Sailor Summer Sky. I miss that ink.

Despite the above, I am indeed anxious to try the Aurora. Aurora has long been my black of choice and I really enjoy Aurora Blue, which is a rock solid royal blue. A quite a bit drier than the black ink but excellent overal performance. It is my "travel" ink since it comes in Parker style carts so often I will toss a Parker 45 and a box of Aurora Blue in my bag if I have to travel and nice blue black would be fantastic as the modern TWINK Blue Black is dreadful.

I like De Atramentis Sherlock Holmes (Night Blue).

Maybe a bit late...I got a diamine sampler with TEAL, Blue-Black and Prussian Blue
So far the Prussian Blue is my favorite!
It goes in blue, but fades to a lovely shade of blue-gray after a day or three
Teal is way too green
Blue-Black is nice, but feels plain

Aurora-Blue Black is quite nice and very well behaved.

TEAL BLUE BLACKS ARE THE WORK OF SATAN

The Aurora has still not have arrived in Korea but I am looking forward to it and that Diamine Chopin, I would love to get my paws on that but the Diamine dealers here only have the flower set and only sell the whole set.

Stub, you can order from Diamine directly. I have done that twice. They even let you have an extra sample that YOU choose. I love that. Shipping is reasonable. They did make a boo boo on my last order, and I'm hesitant to order again...they put my email address right on the BOX/PACKAGE. I couldn't find a way to contact them, and I wasn't calling international to tell them. That was some time ago. Still I cringe when I think about that.
