🌊 Swatching Teal and Turquoise Fountain Pen Inks

In this video, I have somewhat of an existential crisis because I have no idea where blue ends and green begins. These are all inks that I think occupy that gorgeous middle ground that reminds me of the sea. Which of these is your favourite? 🌊

I adore teal inks and Diamine Eau de nil was my first and I still Love it today. I also love Aurora Borealis and Marine by Diamine. I'm wanting Robert Oster Tranquility.

Diamine Aurora Borealis and Bliss are my two most used in this category. They're all beautiful but I dont reach for teal inks that often.

Now, purple inks are my some of my favorites. I'm looking forward to that video.

I like the brighter teals - so for Sailor, I'd use 464. I think it's interesting how Sailor numbers their inks, you can always tell which color along the line of numbers you would like because of their numbering system. In your list, Lake is my favorite! But it's not as wet as I want it to be, but it's still very very good flow. Diamine marine has been on my list to try as it's right in the color shade I like. So excited for this color family, Ru! :D Thanks for sharing!

I’m pleasantly surprised by the Schneider Bermuda! I know they are makers of school pens (at least in Germany many years ago), but I’ll have to be on the lookout for their inks now! Thank you!

Teal, a color I love. my favorite is Lamy Amazonite. It is very similar to Diamine Aurora Borealis, a little bit more blue. Dominant Industries Lake is another favorite, a little hint of violet makes it different from Diamine steel blue. The scented Herbin you mentioned makes me curious. In general I don’t like scented inks, the ones I had smelled much to strong, flat without any nuances in scent. A more complex, subtle scented ink sounds like something I can enjoy like a good shaving soap or eau de toilette.

My favourite colour family! Having seen all these swatches though, my beloved Diamine Marine is still my fave!
