Cosmic Reef is a dirty grey blue-green with flat red sheen. It’s amazing how blue the chromatography is on this.

Polar Night is a lovely purple-grey chromoshading ink. It develops lovely brown pink colouring and some yellow tones as well.

Golden Mist is a very pretty orange to pink chromoshader. Unfortunately it’s very pale, so I don’t think it will write well. I do see it as a great possibility for painting things like donkey orchids though!

Blue Hole is a pale blue with yellow undertones. It chromosades and you can see it appears almost green in some areas and quite yellow in others.

Flame Nebula is a lovely burnt orange with pink undertones. It wrote beautifully with a dip nib, so should behave very well in a pen!

Morning frost on Mars is a glimmer additive you can add to any ink for shimmer. I think this would look nice in yesterday’s Snow Angel and I’ll do a swatch of this later.

Snow Angel is a lovely pink-brown that should look great in writing

L.G.M is a bright acidy yellow-green. Totally not a me colour, but I’m so glad to see more experimental interesting colours after the normal blues we’ve had.

Sungrazing Comet is a classic bright blue with red sheen. Dried well with no stickiness. I’m sure it will be a crowd pleaser, although I admit to being bored with blue sheeners.

The Void is a very dark blue with matte coppery black sheen. It’s very thick and went tacky and didn’t move far when swatching. Odd colour for an advent imo.

Milky Sea is a dark blue with bright blue shimmer. I’m not normally fond of blue ink, but this is very pretty.

Erebus Crater is a grey-green to pink chromoshader. You get a sneak peak of something else I’m doing with the Colorvent inks, as my swatch doesn’t show the darker colours.

Apollon is a golden yellow-orange that makes me think of butternut squash. This looks like it will shade well in writing.

Is Martian Dust - a brick red ink with some flat metallic sheen. Interesting they opened things with a red again, I wonder if there will be as many reds as last year?

Van Dieman’s Sea Spray is a lovely green to pink chromoshader. It does write well, although I found in a medium nib it did lean more towards green without much pink shading.

Lee Ming Coral Sea is a lovely green blue chromoshader. I’ve found in writing it leans a bit more towards the blue, but still very nice!
