I followed Shaylen's recipe to make my own mix and it looks awesome. :)

 

Yey!!! I'm so glad it is working for others and isn't just a fluke!

I may have to try that. I love the Tiffany Blue! Now can you please replicate MB British Racing Green? Anyone????

 

I once added some Noodler's Blue to a cartridge that had some Noodler's Zhivago, and it looked dead-on to the pics of MBRG I have seen. I tried a couple of more times and did not replicate it, though always had a pretty green of some sort or another.

Hello! I know I am a bit late getting in on this topic, but I was wondering if anyone had found an ink that best matched Tiffany's signature blue? While searching for a "Tiffany Blue" ink at World Lux, Daphne Blue by Private Reserve looked to be the closest match, but perhaps one of you has found something better?

I have PR Daphne Blue, and while a lovely colour, it's quite blue - I feel that it lacks the green component that makes Tiffany Blue so unique. I think it might be a contender in a mix with some green, however.

This is what I have found. Diamine Soft Mint comes very close, but is maybe just a touch too green. If you didn't want to mix, look into Soft Mint. Otherwise, start there, and add some Daphne Blue.

I believe I saw a swab of the Diamine Soft Mint when I looked through their ink samples. On the tester paper it did look a bit green, but I imagine that could be because of the paper used. I'll definitely try mixing the Soft Mint and the Daphne Blue. I've never mixed inks before, but this sounds like a fun place to start!

 

Thanks so much!

I would have thought Waterman South Sea Blue wasn't far off, but it's so hard to tell. Perhaps the problem is that I've never owned anything by Tiffany :rolleyes: . Anyway, you seem to have found a solution in the meantime.

+1 one of my favs

Have not seen it mentioned (or I missed it) but what about MB Turquoise?

 

I think both of these are just a touch too blue on their own. If I recall correctly, MB Turquoise reminded me VERY much of Daphne Blue.

I've got to say, I tried mixing the inks and it's really close to Tiffany's color! Thanks for the recipe! :thumbup:
