Diamine 150th Anniversary Inks Overview

To help you decide whether these inks are worth your time, I put together a quick overview of each.

1. 1864 Blue Black

This ink is by far my least-liked in this set because the color isn't anything special: it's just another blue -black. It also has issues with feathering, which become more noticeable in semi-flexible nibs like the one on my Stipula Splash.

2. Regency Blue

On Goulet's website, this ink seems to have an amazing sheen; but that sadly isn't the case in my experience. You might like this color, but I'm not particularly moved by it.

3. Silver Fox

Silver Fox is extremely light to the point that it can be difficult to read. It is a true grey though; and unlike J. Herbin Gris Nuage, it has no hints of blue.

4. Carnival

Carnival is a red with no shading or sheen, ideal for marking revisions or grading.

 5. Tropical Green

This one is a vibrant green with a slight red sheen only visible in the swab.

6. Terracotta

Terracottta (spelled as one word by Diamine) is an orange with good shading and a green sheen. The color matches the name well, and this ink is often in my OMAS Arco Paragon.

7. Safari

Terracotta shades well, but Safari is in another league. It ranges from a mid-green almost to black. If you're looking for the most exciting ink in this range, look no further.

8. Blue Velvet

My favorite of the group, Blue Velvet is an almost radioactive blue which performs well both on Rhodia and on cheap paper. The color is reportedly close to Parker Penman Sapphire, but I can neither confirm nor deny that as I don't have a bottle.
