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? 💙

Satisfying.
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!

I can totally relate to that! I'm only now starting to rediscover blue inks and realising how many different hues and shades there are. I looked up the Taccia ink and it looks beautiful! Absolutely a colour I'd enjoy. Thank you for watching!
I enjoy Chopin and Blizzard, too. Celadon Cat is on the dry side. This was a treat to watch. Thank you for sharing.
Great video as always! So relaxing.
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 🤩
Great selection 💙
this is such a lovely collection of blues! thank you for sharing as always!
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.

Oooh those are both awesome! I don't have them but they are both on my wishlist 😄
Thank you for sharing as always! I am on the fence about blue inks >.< Blue tea is my favorite, swatched here in this video.
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.

I relate to that! These categories of blue are making me like blue inks more.
So pretty! I do own celadon cat, love it, but I blame it on you that now I want chichen itza! 😜🤓

Oops! 😅 It's a really nice one though, so I understand 😉
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.

Thank you! I completely relate to that. I'm really enjoying exploring different hues and shades of blue to see which ones I do like. Definitely leaning towards teal and grey blue inks!
