Ink Review #469: Callifolio Bleu Ultramarine

Today we will be reviewing another Callifolio ink. Bleu Ultramarine is a saturated, bright turquoise blue.

Disclaimer: It has been brought to my attention that this sample may have been improperly labeled. I will keep this review up but will purchase another sample from JustVanness and re-review. Thank you!

This ink had medium shading and medium red sheen. It is saturated and reminds me of Tono & Lies Welcome YOME!. I ordered this sample from Vanness and would like to note that this color does not resemble the swatch online (which is a purple blue).

I found this ink to have a pleasant, slightly wet flow. The shading and sheen were consistent with longer writing. I enjoyed the flow a lot and easily see myself using this for notes.

Overall:

Overall, this is a saturated blue with shading and sheen. It has a great flow.
