That'd be about right.

Yep, that's what I'm seeing, with (including but not limited to) the test pen I've dedicated to this ink, on a variety of papers.

Thanks for another great review, bokaba 

Is this the colour after having dried for a few hours?

Thanks for the review.  This looks like a nice color to try, too!

The color is similar to to Manyo Yomogi.

I thought the un-darkened color was similar to Tsuki yo. Based on what I've seen there doesn't appear that there will be much color shift after the first few hours. It has been about 6 hours with no change from the photo shown in the review.

Interesting colour...

I will continue to check, but I think that only happen with a very thick, wet line.

The second photo to which I linked above has two lines of writing in KWZI IG Turquoise from a year and a half ago on Apica paper, and they certainly haven't darkened to anything resembling black in the meantime.

IG Turquoise actually changes color to a more teal over a couple of weeks.  It's a very slow shifter.  It continues changing slightly for about a month or two.  The initial writing is more blue-turqouise, but the final look is noticeably green-shifted and deeper.  I like the final look and hate the anemic initial look, personally.   Because the change to the hue range I like is so slow, I ended up giving away my bottle after a year.

Interesting, I receive a letter, (though it was written on copy paper) and it was black....Hence my question...

My apologies. For some reason I read KWZ blue black instead of Turquoise. I just realized it.

Nice colour. Also good to know that it retains its colour over time. Looks like it could be an interesting one for use in an EDC pen at work (a bit of colour in your work-life, plus moderate to good water resistance). Thx for the review.
