De Atramentis Sherlock Holmes - Ink Sample

Blue- Not Blurple, Not Glue (greenish blue)

An excellent pure Blue, at least to my eye. Toned silvery grey. I find this shade of blue very comfortable to use for prolonged writing/reading sessions. Definitely my favorite class of blue inks. I also have the DeAtramentis Giuseppe Verdi which is almost indistinguishable, that said, the S Holmes edges it out. I also prefer it to JHerbin Bleu des Profondeurs which is darker. In the pen used for all comparisons (Aurora 88 XF) P i Shin Kai was watery looking. DA Sherlock Holmes is an excellent ink.
