Your Favorite Purple Black Inks

[NeverTapOut]

MB Lavender Purple with a little MB Midnight Blue to darken it up so it isn't so red.

I'll post a pic when I do the mix...however, it is not as black as Bungubox Ink of Witch.

All this talk of dark purple is reminding me of eggplant...I thing I'm going to order a pizza with eggplant and have a glass of wine.

How about J.Herbin Amethyste de l'Oural?

Amberlea is the expert on purple blacks...what I call purple black she calls bruise grey : )

Very Nice pen.

Respectfully,

Hi Aussie !

Thanks for your review. Is the pen present on the photo a clear demonstrator Aurora ?

Cheers

Yes...however, is it purple black or blaple (I just made that up)?

Thanks for your review.

Patrick, no problem, even though that writing sample is far less than an ink review and wasn't intended to present as one.

You could call it that if you want, but most people will be referring to this when talk about the clear Aurora 88 demonstrator (http://www.aurorapen.it/888-n.html) with clear finial elements (or this clear Aurora Optima demonstrator).

 

Beautiful pen and one of my favorite inks.

I reckon Sailor Shikiori kinmokusei would be a better match for that pen than either Amethyste de l'Oural or Cornaline d'Egypte, given the hue and saturation of the colour of the finials compare to the ones in Aurora's marketing images for the model.
