B&B&B: Black, Blue, Burgundy

[Mendel]

What are your one favorite blue, black, and burgundy fountain pens inks you are currently using? Here's mine:

Blue: This is a toughy. I'm torn between Diamine Sargasso Sea and Diamine Denim

Black: Levenger Raven Black

Burgundy: Diamine Oxblood (I do like Noodler's Tiananmen but found it to be way too wet for my liking)

 

[Snargle]

My Blue is Noodler's Ottoman Azure, Black would be Noodler's (Bulletproof) Black, and Burgundy would be a toss-up between Diamine Oxblood or Noodler's Black Swan in Australian Roses.

 

[RichieRich3902]

My blue is J.Herban ocean bleu, my blue/black is PR midnight blues and my black is noodlers heart of darkness.

 

[maxman]

Oddly enough I don't use Blue or Black that often.
Life's too short to always write in the boring old blue or black.

Having said that, if I do use blue it's PR American Blue or DC Supershow Blue.

Check out Montgrappa Bordeaux for a really nice burgundy.

I've used others, but that one is the nicest by far.

 

[SmoovD]

Blue: Noodler's Eel
Black: do not use so I will substitute a blue/black- ESSRI
Red: Diamine Syrah

 

[cursethis]

Blue: Pilot Iroshizuku Tsuki-yo
Black: Montblanc Mystery Black

Black ... Noodlers.

Blue ... for straight-up blue, I like Noodler's Blue, and Midway Blue for a lighter blue. I'm keen on blue-blacks right now, and am using some Diamine Registrar's, which I quite like. The Sailor nano-blue-black is very nice too. I'll rotate the BBB back into the line-up soon enough, and want to try the 54th Mass as well.

Burgundy ... Noodler's North African Violet.

Black - Noodler's Aircorp (very dark from wet nib, shades of green in a drier nib - I'm trying it out diluted, also)

Blue - Noodler's Liberty's Elysium for "true blue," or Diamine Majestic Blue for a darker hue

Burgundy - only tried Noodler's Red-Black, but want to try BSIAR for it's shading characteristics

 

[Dave258]

Blue Pelikan Edelstein Topaz

Black I switch between Noodler's Heart of Darkness and 5OS

Burgundy Diamine Oxblood

I'm to newb to have a favorite, But I have 4 baggies filled with samples, and I'm keeping a journal of each ink, what pen, and my observations of each.
Y'all have messed me up so bad that I am now wearing a pocket protector again...

I suggest B&B pocket protectors for all of us in the Nib!

 

[the_edski]

Blue: Rohrer and Klingner Blau Permanent
Black: J. Herbin Perle Noire
Burgundy: I only have one red ink, so by default it is Skrip Red. I need to work on that...

Blue would be a toss up between Pelikan Royal Blue and Diamine Denim. Black would be Pelikan 4001 Brilliant Black. No opinion on burgundy, yet.

On edit: I keep wanting to call Denim Cotton.

 

[Moondancer]

Black: Noodler's
Blue: Noodler's Liberty's Elysium (Goulet Pens exclusive, I believe)
Burgundy: Noodler's Black Swan in Australian Roses (my favorite ink of all I've ever tried and the only ink I keep inked up in two pens)

 

[cursethis]

If we can substitute red in for burgundy, I'll go with Noodler's Cayenne. I like the shading I get with it when I use a stub nib.

 

[Shutterbug57]

Blue: Sheaffer Scrip blue/black in the pre '92 formulation.

Black: Aurora black - but I rarely use black as I like to be able to easily tell a copy from an original.

Burgundy: Diamine ancient copper.

 

[gmgaj]

Blue: noodler's navy or scribal workshop mermaid cyan
Black: don't use it
Burgundy: PR black cherry
