review: colorverse sea of tranquility

More Colorverse! I sure do have a lot of this stuff.

Colorverse's Spaceward series covers phenomena observable from Earth... I think? It includes a pretty wide variety of topics, including launched vehicles and lunar features. It covers a nice rainbow of colors.

Colorverse Spaceward Sea of Tranquility is a field green color. Reading about the Sea of Tranquility—it's a plain on the Moon's surface—it's perhaps a reference to this gravity map of the lunar mare.

For information on how I do my reviews, please visit my policy page.

Sea of Tranquility has very little water resistance. Most of it does lift away when it touches water. However, this ink dried surprisingly quickly—it was completely smudge-free before fifteen seconds! I think this might be the fastest-drying ink I've tried yet.

It has a nice amount of shading on Kokuyo MIO paper, even in the fine nib.

The shading is much more apparent on Tomoe River paper, though it still does not have any sheen here.

Okay, this picture is pretty silly. I really don't have any colors quite like Sea of Tranquility, and also all of these inks aren't even close to their true shade. Oh well! Rohrer & Klingner Alt-Goldgrun is a rich khaki green, while Nagasawa Kobe Aotani Cascade Green is basically turquoise.

I had this ink in my Pelikan M205, and it was an enjoyable combo. It's a bit on the drier side, but it evened out the wet flow of my M205 well.
