Thank you Amber for getting me to see Private Reserve Ebony Purple. It went from unknown-to-me a minute ago to straight on the to-buy list.

Is Diamine Damson considered purple-black? If it is, then it is certainly one of my favourites :)

 

+1 here, ut its more like black with a hint of purple though

@PurplePlum, thank you.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Create a Ghostly Avatar and I'll send you a letter. Check out some Ink comparisons: The Great PPS Comparison 

Don't know where to start?  Look at the Inky Topics O'day.  Then, see inks sorted by color: Blue Purple Brown Red Green Dark Green Orange Black Pinks Yellows Blue-Blacks Grey/Gray UVInks Turquoise/Teal MURKY

I have a couple more that would suit here... let me try and find pics

 

 

(Diamine Purple Pizzazz, Cult Pens Deep Dark Purple, maybe Oster Purple Rock - more of a purple-grey)

Diamine Amazing Amethyst. It goes on dark and settles to a dusky purple.

"Are we at last brought to such humiliating and debasing degradation that we cannot be trusted with arms for our defense? Where is the difference between having our arms in possession and under our direction, and having them under the management of Congress? If our defense be the real object of having those arms, in whose hands can they be trusted with more propriety, or equal safety to us, as in our own hands?" Patrick Henry

I endeavour to be frank and truthful in what I write, show or otherwise present, when I relate my first-hand experiences that are not independently verifiable; and link to third-party content where I can, when I make a claim or refute a statement of fact in a thread. If there is something you can verify for yourself, I entreat you to do so, and judge for yourself what is right, correct, and valid. I may be wrong, and my position or say-so is no more authoritative and carries no more weight than anyone else's here.

I think "Ink of the Witch " would pass for black for just about anyone. I can't see any purple in mine at all.

 

YMMV

Oh, I know this of myself

I assume as much for other people

We’ve listened more to life’s end gong

Than the sound of life’s sweet bells

This is odd, I have been thinking about this question today, while pondering the next inking of a Nakaya Piccolo. And now here I find this same question on FPN. Must be fate.

 

So my answer is....... Robert Oster Barossa Grape.

Greetings,

Christina

I have a lot of dark purples, but they're not quite purple-black: Poussiere de Lune, Lamy Dark Lilac, and Franklin Christoph Tenebris Purpuratum. Although the F-C comes closest to purple-black in a wet writer.

 

Franklin Christoph Noir et Blue is supposedly a blue-black, but with every nib/paper combo for which I've used it, it skews decidedly purple-black. Which is why it's one of my very favorite blue-black inks.

In what pen? I had high hopes for this ink, but in pen after pen, it turned out to be a pale liver color.

I thought that since it's FP Day, I'd go gind some ink. And I got distracted and spent money on buying nibs that use more ink. :)

actually, in every pen I have used it in. Currently in a well tuned Mottishaw Stub, but also in less exotic nibs like all kinds of Twsbis. It has been a favourite of mine and runs dark and juicy every time.

Sorry to hear you didn't enjoy the ink as much. Maybe a batch problem?

Thank you. I suspect that TWSBIs are wetter than any of my pens. I also have difficulty getting a bold line out of Rohrer & Klingner Scabiosa, which is similar in appearance. Here's an interesting comparison review:
