IMG_3208.thumb.jpg.99195c01101956c190db0d96728943c8.jpgMy guess is this may not 'count' as a 'blue pen'?

 

But I'll give it a go anyway ...😈

Good point! :thumbup: 

 

It may well 'gate crash' the 'show us your green pen' thread in the future 😈

I love the finish on both of these pens!

Since this is a blue pen thread, I’m going to go ahead and post a shot in the dark:

So the long story short is I’m looking for a pen to embody this color swatch: a dark glittery blue with a purple sheen. If anyone happens to have a pen with this color I would love to see pictures and a description of its make and model.

 

Since my pen collection is currently scattered around the house I will wait until tomorrow to send a picture of my own blue pens. 

 

Every computer screen displays differently, but that looks like a very close match for my Navy Pilot Decimo. Has the same metallic clear coat like effect. Check it out:

Thank you :D as if I needed an excuse to buy a Pilot VP 😂. I have now added that to my list of pens to buy next. It’s third in line, behind the Pelikan M200 demonstrator, and the Platinum 3776 Star Wars edition.

If your car has them, make sure to change your timing belts every 80-100,000 miles. (Or shorter if specified in the manual)

Decimo, not VP -- the VP does not have this same color option. Just trying to be precise so you aren't led to the wrong pen color! LOL.

The color of the Aion is so pretty, and the Mare really does look like it’s namesake. 😍

Another blue pen has been added to my collection. It’s a Levenger True Writer in Turquoise.

That’s a nice one!  There’s something very ‘90s about it that I really like.

I thought I posted this but I don't see it....

It's been hard to find a proper ink for the Aion.  I have Ajisai in it now, and have tried Lake Placid Blue and Edelstein Sapphire.  Can't decide.

Have you looked at Diamine Cobalt Jazz? It’s really pretty, and my Lamy pens, even the EF nibs, have no issues with their shimmer.  If shimmer is not your thing, their Majestic Blue is lovely; Edelstein Sapphire is as well. Also Private Reserve Electric Supershow Blue. Can you tell it’s my favorite color‽

@The Elevator, can you describe the color that you are seeking? To me it looks like a metallic royal blue, not quite cobalt, but not dark like navy. I wanted to know how close that is to the actual shade of blue that you are looking for. What is the reference photo of?
