Looks like waterman blue/black! Great review!

 

It does NOT look like Waterman BB in real life. Blue Suede is lighter and much more green, to my eyes.

 

 

yes, i will say that it is a greener, ill try to get a more accurate color later.

Must be the photo - in 'real life' it looks nothing like any B/B I've ever seen.

 

Like the photo angle by the way - looks the start of Star Wars :) .

Yep, Blue Suede is really green. In fact, it is the only green I have in my box of inks anymore. (Well, if you don't count a pack of Montblanc Racing Green cartridges.)

 

Enjoy,

Yours,

From a person's actions, we may infer attitudes, beliefs, --- and values. We do not know these characteristics outright. The human dichotomies of trust and distrust, honor and duplicity, love and hate --- all depend on internal states we cannot directly experience. Isn't this what adds zest to our life?

I am using both cartridges and the bottle.

 

I think I would describe it as a very blue ink that is shaded green.

 

Blue-Black and Teal do not cross my mind when I use it.

 

----------

Of course, that is with my color vision, and I know it is a little bit off.

 

I find the color appealing, to me.

 

I do not find it a well behaved ink though. To me, it exhibits a common fault of highly saturated PR inks in that it has excessive surfacant and bleeds excessively through the paper. I have a suspicion that I will like it more with a bit of watering down.

I was just playing with this ink the other day. I really like it. If I were to describe it I would say it was on the green end of the Teal spectrum.

I have, but haven't taken or posted any photos of it.

 

Diamine Teal is more blue-grey, with far, far less green and less brightness. It is a more sedate, subdued color. I know that doesn't help much without photos, but that's my two cents.
