Greyish Blues! 🌧️ Swatching Blue Fountain Pen Inks Pt. 3

In this video, the clear blue skies are obscured by a veil of clouds. Luckily, there are some true gems in this collection of blues. While I enjoy a vibrant blue every once in a while, these unsaturated blues are definitely a favourite category of mine. Which of these is your favourite? 💙

As someone who for the longest time hated blue inks, as they feel cheap to me (and that's only because every ballpoint pen has that god awful blue color), I've started to love them. My own favorite is the Taccia Ukiyo-e Hiroshige Ainezu. It's the perfect blue for me, dark enough to be easily legible and have that gorgeous classy feel to it. From your collection, the Chopin by Diamine is catching my eye!

my favourites are the ones I already own (Celadon Cat & Chichen Itza plus Blizzard) and the ones on my wish list - Blue'Tea when I can afford the postage & Storied Blue. Thank you for sharing with us as always 🤩

I enjoy Chopin and Blizzard, too. Celadon Cat is on the dry side. This was a treat to watch. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you for sharing as always! I am on the fence about blue inks >.< Blue tea is my favorite, swatched here in this video.

Lovely inks! I have to admit like @oon4611 said, I don't have a lot of FP blue inks because of the same reason. But, I've begun to explore more teal and gray blue inks.

So pretty! I do own celadon cat, love it, but I blame it on you that now I want chichen itza! 😜🤓

I'd like to add Colorverse Life on Mars and Robert Oster Muddy Swamp to this list. Really nice muted grey blues with good shading.

Thank you! I am not so much a lover royal blue inks, blue in general… Blue blacks and blue greys seems more interesting to me. Looking forward to try some of these colors.

My favorite blue ink is Nemosyne blue snowball nebula twinkle but its discontinued :( so my new favorite blue ink is a close tie between J herbin Kyanite du nepal and Diamine Subzero :)
