A beautiful bright red, and so happy to say that shades (pardon for the approximation) raspberry. Do not expect a dark red or oxblood; rather it pulls the rose on the brown. It is bright, but it is red, I said; this is not a fancy ink (as would a rose). Another detail, the liquid seems particularly fluid. It was not suitable for my Platinum converter 3776, which began to run (maybe this is a problem of the pen or converter, but in any case, it does not recur with cartridges). Conversely, ink seems better suited to a pen EF others (in this case, Diamine), perhaps because the exceptional fluidity promotes flow, more delicate on this kind of pen. Last detail: the glass bottle is not practical. What I forget immediately seeing the color of the ink in my 92 Heritage Pilot transparent. Ink that gives a smile, it deserves 5 stars.
