Noodler's La Couleur Royale


mhphoto

Recommended Posts

This is a fantastic, deep, saturated purple ink from Noodler's. I love it!

 

And please note that I dropped the "e" off of "Royale" because I always copy directly what's on the Goulet sample vial and whoever was on sample sticker detail that day dropped it, too. So I blame the Goulets. :roflmho: :P ;)

A detailed review and good to see this colour getting some more attention.

My bottle has a more distinct bluish tone like a deep royal blue than your writing samples (our Purple Martins look about the same).

I really like this ink it is a nice colour and has as noted above a retina searing intensity. Seems to be a rather wet ink too.

Wow, that's a nice purple.

 

How does it behave compared to PR Tanzanite?

All I want is 1 more pen, and 1 more bottle of ink, and maybe 1 more pad of paper. Well, at least until tomorrow. Oh yeah, and throw in that bottle of single malt. Is that asking for too much?

 

thanks Chris.

Just re-wrap the ink vial with the original blue wrappings and send it back to the Goulets with a note. "You guys forgot the letter "e" in Noodler's La Couleur Royale." lol All in all, a good review. I like the saturated look of this ink.

My bottle is far more blue than this review; its ink matches the coloring of the label. Isn't the ink supposed to be a royal blue not a royal purple?

I thought the same thing. Maybe the bottle needs a shake or two.

 

It is interesting to go to Goulet Pens & compare swabs

La Couleur Royale, North African Violet and BayStateBlue. You might need sunglasses if you look too long.

My LCR is also more blue than purple. Maybe its the scan or my monitor? It's closer to Tanzanite but duller and dryer. LCR does not satisfy my purple craving, though Tanzanite does, and Tanzanite is still sober enough for work. My purple wampum is also much darker and duskier than the OP's scan.

Thanks for the compliments, everyone!

 

I'll have to dig out the sample page tomorrow and compare it to the scan. I recently changed the way I scan these reviews (after I calibrated my monitor correctly), and I had to tweak this one to get it to match up. I have some other reviews for which I'll be taking sunlight shots of because their colors don't scan well, so I'll stick this one on that list. :)

I received my bottle this week and I have got a navy blue :crybaby: Whilst it is a gorgeous navy, I wanted the purple at the beginning of this review. Any thoughts anyone?:blink:

The photos in the original post appear too bright and vibrant on my screen. My bottle of Couleur Royale is a much darker bluish-purple. I think it may be my favorite ink to date. I also seem to remember Kung te Cheng being much bluer as well...

 

I have always liked your ink review pictures mhphoto. Whenever someone mentions the word "sheen" your review of Diamine Eclipse pops up in my mind.
