The ink is close in color to Sailor Irori, but not quite as orange. It is lighter and less pink than Pelikan Star Ruby. KM Red also is not as saturated as either ink, and is less wet than Irori, but not as dry as Star Ruby.
Overall, the ink is well behaved, as I would expect from a DeAtramentis ink. It is moderate in terms of wetness and works well with both my wet Lamy Studio with 14k fine nib and my very dry Lamy Safari with 1.1 stub nib. I am very pleased with my purchase - particularly since it was discounted. Thank you, Mike Vanness.
Note: I purchased this bottle of ink myself and all opinions are mine.
