Diamine Burgundy Royale - 40ml Bottled Ink

Beautiful burgundy

Like Blue Velvet and the other sesquicentennial colors, this one does not disappoint. Rich and lovely.

Nice darkish red ink that leans purple, not brown

I put this ink in a Safari with a medium nib. I want to try it in one of my TWSBIs when it’s time for a refill. The ink flows well, dries relatively quickly, & is distinctly red, not so dark that color cannot be distinguished from black. I was looking for a darker red that doesn’t look like dried blood on the page. This one leans toward the purple, not rust end of the red spectrum, which is what I wanted. My first impressions are good, but I want to see in in a pen with a juicier nib.

Lovely purpley brick red

A dark red tending toward purplish, quite wet, but not too dark to show some nice shading. In a Pelikan M600 fine, it is very free flowing!
