I'm Looking For A Purpley Blue Help Would Be Appreciated.

[attika89]

More of a bluish-purple than a purplish-blue, but Sailor Shigure is nice color. Its supposed to be available again soon.

My Sailor Sherbet Blue is often called a purple.

I bought the Iroshizuku Ajisai and the Murasaki-Shikibu, and will give them both some love as purple-y blues. I also like the Edelstein Sapphire (the Iroshizuku is only $4.50 more a bottle than the Edelstein on Jetpens).

Got around to trying Diamine Imperial Blue in a stub nib. Seems more purple than blue.

Nice! May have to go for a bottle.

I like what this post has turned into! it's like an ink shopping list for me for the next few years

[strictlyobiter]

Too many of my blurple samples have turned into blurple bottles of ink! I'm glad to see so many of my favourites mentioned. In bottle form I currently possess:

 

Akkerman Binnehof Blues

Sailor Ultramarine

Diamine Bilberry

Noodler's La Coleur Royale

Diamine Sapphire Blue

 

Once my two Diamines run out (next few months) I think I'll try Edelstein Sapphire.

One more for your shopping list . . . ?

 

Writing Equipment Society's Imperial Blue

I sadly am not a fan of blue purples hence only one sample to show you

 

Oh poo, is this the same as Diamine Imperial Blue. If so, sorry KBeezie.

Iroshizuku Ajisai is very nice ink. It is the most purple of the Iroshizuku blues.

attika,

 

That Shigure looks fabulous. Where did you first get yours?

 

Also, how far over the line to purple does it look in person, to your eyes?

J. Herbin 1670 Bleu Ocean is purple.

My black Kaweco Sport came with a free cartridge of a very nice purply blue - presumably a standard for the company. Only problem is, I don't know what the ink was to get some more. Anyone know what it's likely to be?

Goulet sells kaweco cartridges.... youll have to figue out which one. Im assuming its their blue because thats what mine came with...

Both Montblanc Royal Blue and Sailor Jentle Ultramarine have a luminous purple tinge, both beautiful, imho, and excellent performers as well.

 

 

 

+1. Excellent inks, both. Ultramarine has been my favorite for almost a year now (a record for me).

That looks really nice must put one on my next amazon order.

I'm a creature of habit and have used the same ink for more than 20 or so years. I buy Waterman blue and purple and mix it 70% purple to 30% blue. Nice purplish blue called burple. Try it - the ink is well priced, good drying time, runs smooth and easy to get.

Lots of great comments on this thread. I'll cast my vote for Edelstein Sapphire, although I also like Iroshizuku Ajisai; Diamine Sapphire Blue, Bilberry, and WES Imperial Blue; R&K Cassia; and J. Herbin Eclat de Saphir.

Got it from the great guy mentioned in this thread. Last week I've ordered some Iroshizuku from him as well.

I'd say its a purple somewhat on the colder side, that has a hint of blue to it.

As it seems it will only be available again sometime around June....

Bilberry by Diamine; try straight or cut with sterile water 5:1 for another shade

That Diamine Imperial Blue is cool. It is purple in the bottle and goes on the page purple but dries to an almost blue. In dry writing pens it stays purple on the page. I received my first bottle of it a couple of days ago and it is messing with my eyes. I find myself walking up to strangers and asking, "what color does this look like to you?"
