Diamine Teal vs. De Atramentis Pigeon Blue

Both these inks are inspired by colour found on birds

For the people who have no knowledge of birds. The Bird on the Right is a Parakeet which modelled for Diamine and the bird on the right is a bald eagle which inspired De Atramentis

Colour Comparison

Just as these birds and their colour are different both inks and birds also have some familiarities

The De Atramentis ins seems to be a bit bright like the colour on the Pigeon. The Teal to my eyes is darker

Ink Behaviour

Both inks are very smooth writers ad well saturated. Neither of these ink feater bleed or show through.

Although there is no sheening in neither of these inks they do shade The Pigeon blue seems a little bit better but the diference is neglectible

Both inks seem to hold their liquor

I smeared both inks with wet fingers but both texts stay legible

Availability
