  1. Hello Friends, I (as well as other reviewers) have had the go ahead from Diamine to share the following ahead of the release of the latest range of inks from the 150th Anniversary later this month. All incredibly well behaved and have amazing shading! I will be adding fuller reviews in due course, however, the overview is as follows: Colours being released include: Burgundy Royale - I LOVE this colour and I was delightfully transported to the early 1990's when I had a very similar shade from the WHS Smith Messenger range (which I have been searching for every since!!) How delighted I was to find that Diamine produced it for said stationers!! This is a rich, wet ink that has been a joy to write with. Despite being rich and dark, it shades! Golden Honey - fabulous with punchy shading. I love the deep orange where the ink pools. The flow is smooth and perfect from my Konrad. This is a well behaved twin of Apache and I am very happy indeed. Blood orange - gorgeous colour, very well behaved, shades beautifully, vibrant yet not tiring, it is in my perpetual rotation! Dark Forest - colour is very beautiful and elegant, I was very excited to write with it briefly, again reminded of KWZI I. G. green which I have been using daily for weeks. Very well behaved, rich, luxurious green with a silky smooth flow. This ink sheens red!! Lilac Night - surprising rich colour, well behaved, good flow. Reminded of Diamine Damson in its duskiness, which I love. Not sure about the Lilac name, which often elicits images of soft, summery, ladies who lunch kind of lilac, or heroines gracing the cover of Georgette Heyer novels Vs the luxuriously rich ink i am writing with. But that is just my very subjective thought. Tudor Blue - love the name, it is Diamine! Ink has confused me somewhat, it is very 'normal', standard, washable blue. The shading is great, it is slightly on the dry side and I am really reminded of Quink. Purple Dream - lovely colour, great flow, behaviour and shading. Am enjoying using this ink very much, it is fresh and 'now', but equally, it is olde worlde and regal! Espresso, a beautiful brown, has felt slightly on the dry side, pen has needed encouraging a few times before it will write after being left capped for a day or so. Otherwise a great colour with great shading. Here is a swatch:
