![]() Possibly grape? It is a light neutral purple that doesn’t lean too much red or blue that is also somewhat lower saturation and with a bit of dustiness to it. I’d very much like a non-shimmer version! Shimmer Lilac is a great name for the ink as it is a good lilac or wisteria colour. ![]() Shimmer Lilac only has a shimmering version, interestingly. There’s no sheen on these and the shimmer is the same as on Tomoe River. The possibility of feathering and bleeding is also slightly increased. This generally as the effect of reducing shading and luminosity, while increasing sheen and saturation. The nib can be either very wet or slightly dry and I try to find the middle area. I also use a fine Glass nib pen for the comparison ink names. Lamy Extra Fine: this nib is moderately wet. Lamy Fine: this nib is moderately dry and Lamy 1.1 Stub: this nib is on the drier side ![]() Lamy 1.5 Stub: this nib is moderately wet to write with (this is used for the brand and ink name title) I will not use a Lamy Dialog because there is the rare chance of the nib drying out slightly which might affect the writing performance. The choice of pen (be that Safari, AL-Star, Vista, Joy or Studio) will have little impact in the writing performance. I used Lamy Safaris in Blue Macaron, Petrol, and Terracotta as well as a Lamy Vista, and an Orange Lamy Al-Star for these reviews and seven different stainless steel Lamy nibs on that pen. If it was shaken and immediately transferred then it would be pretty close, if it was allowed to settle however you could get too little particles or too many (depending on how deep the syringe was submerged). With shimmer inks is that I was given samples of these inks and the ratio of shimmer to ink fluid may vary in a sample compared with a bottle. There is a coloured sticker on the box and a sticker with a barcode and the ink name but none of this is on the bottle itself. You will want to keep the box for these bottles (as you should anyway) as the bottle doesn’t have any indication as to which ink it is. the box has a similar design with off-white and red. The label is a very vintage style simplicity with red on white. The bottle is fairly standard it is similar to standard-line Pelikan bottles, Kaweco bottles.
