    Default How does Diamine's Kensington Blue compare with their Royal Blue?

    Diamine's Royal Blue has been my favourite ink pretty much ever since I got back into FPs. Sometimes I would like a *slightly* richer blue, while maintaining their Royal Blue's absence of purple tones. Has anyone tried the Kensington blue? If so I'd love to hear your thoughts.

    You've seen my response on FPN, I think so I won't post the scans again on here. However, check the other one as Ill put Presidential Blue for you to have a look at as well.

    I think Kensington Blue is going the wrong direction, if you want a richer blue. How about Majestic Blue? It does have to be diluted in some pens, but it's a darker and what I would call richer blue.

    Thank you Laura, I will have to look that one up too! I wish Diamine would do samplers.
