Jeans Blue - De Atramentis

[visvamitra]

De Atramentis is german manufacturer of calligraphy and writing ink. The inks are hand made (the entire production process is done manually in their manufacturing center) by i's founder - Dr. Franz-Josef Jensen. I believe he uses high quality dyes from well established European companies like BASF and Bayer.

 

Jeans Blue is nice denim-blue color. It goes on dark blue but dries to a bluish-gray tint with a slight hint of greenFairly fast-drying and has an appreciable uncapped time.

New to me.

Thank you.

Reminds me a lot of R&K Verdigris in its look.

Thank for the review. Colour is okay (for me) but doesn't look at all like any of the blue jeans I've ever seen (new or misused)....

A little green for blue jeans perhaps. Nice enough color though.

[errantmarginalia]

Not bad!

[Cataleya]

My first thought was "looks like Verdigris". I would love to see them in a comparison next to each other. These teal-blue-green colours are my favourite ones, even before a perfect dark red.

Yet another great review and one of my favourite colour groups. It reminds me of Diamine Denim, in a way.

Vis, you do great work.

Maybe 1980s jeans with a Pont stitched on the pocket. For more of a jeans look I like Franklin Cristoph dark denim, sadly discontinued.

 

Thanks for the review. I do like this brand.
