Ordered a sample vial and didn’t love it enough to buy a bottle. It reminded me of bic ballpoint pen blue ink. It’s a light unsaturated blue, but not turquoise.

I actually enjoyed this blue. it dries lighter than when it’s wet. Very little shading but the blue is well saturated. A very pretty blue

This is a very pretty blue. It’s a colour you can use for everyday writing. There is a bit of shading which adds something extra to you writing.

Not sure yet whether I’ll be ordering more of this as I mostly paint portraits. But it’s a beautiful cool blue, which I can imagine would work great for landscapes or seascapes when combined with other colours.
