Verdict

I have had a rough time capturing this colour. In a scan, it is washed out and very warm; by camera, it is much cooler and pinker; in life it is closer to the camera version (I need to get a better scanner or…figure out how to use a scanner).

It really appears to be too light for writing, but I enjoy is a lot and keep my Kaweco Perkeo inked up with it. I mean, just look at the shading it gets with a medium nib! Gorgeous. But if light inks are bothersome, this is not the ink to chose.

In drawing, it is best used without pencil. But, wow, it is gorgeous.
