Diamine Turquoise

[Bhavna]

A beautiful, summery ink. What do you think? The picture is lighter than the actual review - taken in bright sunlight.

I'm not usually a fan of turquoise inks but I tried a sample of this one. I used it in my Visconti Van Gogh Maxi with a wet, broad nib. The colour came out a rich, dark turquoise with amazing shading. (Much darker than your picture even allowing for bright sunlight) It's the only turquoise I've seen that I'd buy.

It is gorgeous, and I agree darker than the picture. I got fed up of trying to colour balance the picture. It is a beautiful turquoise.

Thanks for sharing that.

 

At the moment I'm working my way through a bottle of Waterman Turquoise ink, but I have bought a 30 ml bottle of the Diamine Turquoise to try as a tester in due course.

Waterman Turquoise is gorgeous, but I must urge you to have a go with your Diamine Turquoise, it is breath-taking! Let us know your thoughts!

Thanks Bhavna for the nice review!!

Hi

 

Wilco. These Waterman bottles last for ages, so may be a while till I get to my Diamine tester.

[Bhavna]

Hello! Ok, a question for you; are you really that strong-willed to not play with a bottle of ink until another is finished? Wow, if I did that, I'd be about 489 before I got to try all the fun colours I have! I salute you!

[Vendome]

Not very strong willed, but need to finish the Waterman ink before I tip in the Diamine from the tester bottle.

Ah, I see. Well I hope you get to enjoy it very soon!

Hi, I have just checked my samples of Peacock Blue and Turquoise (and carried out a q-tip swab comparison!). On first look they are nearly identical (!!) however peacock is, I would say very, very slightly more towards the blue than Diamine Turquoise. However, I am shocked at how close the colours are (not to mention delighted!) I will upload a photo when time permits, but for now I can say with confidence there is an insignificant difference. Thank you for posting - it has just found my replacement for Sheaffer Peacock Blue!
