Looking for a Turquoise ink

[the_edski]

Hey gents, been a while since I posted a thread here.

Anyways, I'm looking for a nice turquoise ink. Properties don't matter much to me on this one. Just looking for a nice & striking color. Preferably something I can get from a major FP website (Goulet, ISellpens, Jetpens, etc..)

Looking forward to hearing suggestions!

Take a look at Private Reserve Blue Suede.

Ed,

I know you mentioned a major site. But take a look at Sheaffer Peacock. It is discontinued but NOS can still be had on eBay for about $10.

Also, their "replacement," Skrip Turquoise is pretty close. This is in current production.

I Love the color of the peacock. I'm sorry I don't have a writing sample for you at the moment.

Peacock Blue was awesome. I just finished that last of my stash. Thankfully, I have bottles of R&K's Blu Mare and Diamine Havasu Turquoise.

Visconti green is a green side of a turquoise colour, monteverde turquoise is the only other one i have used it works nice as well

Currently using Scheaffer terquoise at the moment. Looks good to me.

Noodler's Midway Blue is worth a shot!

I think it's close to Sheaffer Peacock (although I'd be interested to hear the thoughts of others on that ...)

De Atramentis Midnight Blue is my favourite Turquoise - the shading is incredible. Then comes Noodler's Turquoise; it's a very well behaved ink. And finally, the too bright for daily use but pleasantly cheerful Ku-jaku.

and out of nowhere, Boris, how are you? nice inks

Thanks for asking James! Like the phoenix from the ashes (literally), still alive and shaking!

Nowadays, my problem (for my own surprise) is to make a rotation of 20-30 inks work... And I definitely "need" a few more pens to test those (and 80 more) inks in.

Would Private Reserve Daphne Blue be considered turquoise?

I have Pelikan Turquoise and Noodlers Turqoise. I'd recommend the former as a true turquoise. The comparison tool at Goulet Pens is very helpful.

Another vote for Iroshizuku Ku-Jaku, and its cheaper clone Diamine Eau de Nil.

I also like Diamine Aqua Lagoon.

I love noodlers turquoise. One of my favorite overall inks

Dang, Midnight Blue looks nice! I like turquoise, but I also like dark inks. That or the Noodler's . . .

Lamy Turquoise is a true turquoise color, in my opinion.
The long discontinued Quink Turquoise was good too.

Thanks for the recommendations, guys. I think I'm going track down some Sheaffer Peacock. Don't have any vintage ink in the collection, should be fun!
