Diamine Presidential Blue

Sorry, the first line of writing was a bit diluted, the rest of it is reflects undiluted writing.

This is a very "true blue" it reminds me of Waterman blue (whichever the darker one is)

Thank you for the very nice review!

The text of your signature (άριστον μέν ύδωρ μέλαν) made me crack a smile!

I do believe you are the first person to get the joke

 

Pindar would be proud

He! I only know the original from the inscription at Bath - must try to find the poem somewhere in translation as my Greek language is beyond rusty and probably beyond repair. I think I can just about make out the s/water/black/ but would never have spotted it without your help. Than is a nice signature Titanic9990 has.

I can't quite make out the bottle of ink your your avatar's hand, but I wonder if the quotation gives us any hints? Might the ink be bulletproof, given the wet conditions?

The ink in my avatar is Noodler's 54th Massacusetts and if you look closely the pen is a Konrad flex pen. Also the quotation is a play on Pindar's "ariston men hudor" (meaning something along the lines of 'the water is fine/best'). I simply replaced "water" (hudor) with"melan," which literally means "black" but was also the ancient Greek word for ink (they didn't have much color choice back then )
