Havasu Haze? Does the mix fall somewhere in the brown range?

Nice name! : )

A roughly 50/50 solution gave me this:

It's having some sort of reaction though, because today (3rd day) it feels much much drier and it's darker.

(The card is Pelikan Pelikano L nib on Rhodia 80g/m).

[PAKMAN]

Kobe Seaside Blue

Waterman Blue

KWZ IG #1 - loving its colour and perfume in almost equal measures. This is a top 10 ink for me. I adore it.

(It's still in the Taccia. Never swapped it out from day 1)

Bit dark for me but I guess there's no harm trying a sample...

Pelikan Edelstein Olivine. It was actually in both of the ones I have been using today - a Namiki and a Sailor Precious Wood

R&K Salix

 

Pelikan 4001 Blue Black

[RoyalBlueNotebooks]

Yesterday I used

Diamine 150th Dark Forest,

RK Verdura,

RK Alt-Goldgrun,

and my mix Diamine "Havasu Haze."

[gmax]

The "Havasu Haze" mix looks good - it's a nice hue, and there is some lovely shading

 

Tas has piqued my interest in KWZI IG Blue #1, though he is known for making every ink look good

 

Today - so far - I have been using RO Peppermint, MB Leo Tolstoy Sky Blue, and Montegrappa Turquoise.

I had expected a mix of these two would turn into a brown, but it’s a lovely blue black. I think Tas will like it.

You're right. It is nice . . . and I thought "eeww" mixing turquiose with orange. How wrong.

 

Will try Noodler's Navajo and Diamine Terracotta for a laugh

I think I've just made a version of Zhivago. Dark dark green. Not a hint of blue black I'll get my coat . . .

I had the same thought when I saw the result! ^^

You wait, one day I'll surprise you all and find a bright bitter pinky magenta ink that I like . . .
