Violet Dreams by Robert Oster
Overall, this slightly red-toned purple is a lovely hue, though better for letters and sketching than business use, with that shimmer.

Arctic Blue by Diamine
I know logically this ink has a sheen, but for the life of me I can’t find it. Not in the writing, anyway!
Solferino by Rohrer & Klingner
Do you like fuchsia? Then this is the ink for you. It’s intensely saturated and very well-behaved.
Sub-Zero by Diamine
As a general fan of glacial/ice blue, and teal, I do love the teal-green shimmer overlay against the blue. It definitely feels icy to me, but also very fae. Winter Court, anyone?
Winter by Krishna
It feels like a springtime and celebratory ink, given the saturation of color and also the depth of hue.
Snowflake by Birmingham Pens
Snowflake is a well-behaved ink that is somehow always brighter than I expect it to be. It definitely shades, though the contrast between the darker shading strokes and the regular shading strokes is relatively low.
Poussière de Lune by Jacques Herbin
I thought it would be appropriate to post the review of this ‘moon dust’ ink on a full moon, so here we are.
Gummiberry by KWZ
This is a Barney-purple ink. The name is ridiculous and calls to mind childhood sleepovers with too much candy.
Twilight Mist by Van Dieman’s
This is a beautiful shading ink that really pops with chromatography. You can see the pinks and blues within it, almost like watercolor- but it’s dark enough to be legible.
Little Robinia by Ferris Wheel Press
OK, this is a very cool effect for an ink. The shading shows both purple and blue! The only downside is that it’s very light.
