There are a lot of things about today’s ink that you would think would make it a hard pass for me: it’s not terribly saturated, it’s not flashy or pretty or much else. And yet, I have enjoyed this ink nearly as long as PR Black Cherry.

This is a mysterious, intriguing ink. It’s got a boldness to it, and a beauty, and overall it seems alluring to me. If I had to pick a purple, that isn’t Backpack, this might be the one.

This is a handsome green. It’s also the biggest shading green of the month (which you’ll see when we get to the review, unless a more shading green comes in the next week).

Again, today’s ink stands out in a way other May inks don’t, and yet I don’t totally get a neon vibe (though perhaps today’s is more neon-y than yesterday’s). More importantly, I don’t get a fuschia vibe. But it’s a very, very nice pink, even a “neon pink”.

Robin egg blue, I think. Not neon to me. In a way, though, it stands out among the other May inks in. Way others don’t. So, it’s attention getting 🙂

This blue is less flashy than Electric DC, but quite a handsome, blue. Again, just those slightest tinges of red. And a little bit of that denim look that leans towards purple. Nice ink.

This is a special edition ink, produced for those in attendance at the Washington DC Fountain Pen Supershow. And it’s a stunner. While the reddish tones don’t come out in shades, they’re definitely present. It’s amazing to me how many brilliant blue inks have quite a bit of red in them.
