For the last few years, Sailor North America releases a limited edition ink available exclusively at pen shows where the Sailor North America team is attending. We have tried to review these colors as we acquire them.
This year, the color chosen is a low saturation smoky bluish color with a multichromatic undertone of aqua and violet. It’s pretty!
In writing, the 2024 Pen Show Exclusive shows a lot of shadingas well as a bit of the multichromatic effect.
Surprisingly, I couldn’t find any other colors in my collection that were comparable. The closest is Vinta Inks Lucia Deepwater. There were more comparisons to blue black shades in my stash but nothing really close.
Does anyone else have anything similar to the Sailor 2025 Pen Show Exclusive?
So, since this color is quite unique to me, I do recommend grabbing a bottle if you can. Also, its a Sailor ink so you can’t really go wrong.
