This is a violet-blue ink similar to its more heavily dyed brother, Bleu Ocean. I’m not sure if my sample was a fluke, but it is VERY violet tinged. Performance is surprisingly lacking for the normally well behaved Herbin ink.

A very violet-tinged blue ink. I was disappointed in its performance, and, honestly, on general principle because J. Herbin didn’t give this ink the gorgeous sheen that has drawn so many faithful to Rouge Hematite, it’s blood red sister ink.

This is one of, if not my favorite, shading ink. Gorgeous and highly recommended!
