Ink Review: Colorverse Iris Nebula

COLOR

Colorverse Iris Nebula is part of their Nebula series. It is a pale purple-leaning gray that is packed with a champagne-to-green multichrome shimmer. Depending on the paper, the ink itself can appear more gray, more lilac, or more periwinkle. It's a shifty color all around!

CHARACTER

This ink has dramatic shading, no sheen, and tons of shimmer. The shading really brings out the purple tones. In most lighting, the shimmer shows as a light champagne gold, but at certain angles it turns a lovely seafoam green.

CONSISTENCY

I really like the formulation of this ink. It has good dry time, but is nicely lubricated and put a good amount of ink into each downstroke. It works great to show off that shading!

It also behaved decently on higher quality paper, but it does feather pretty dramatically on cheaper paper.

CONCLUSION

Colorverse Iris Nebula is such a complex and fun color. It is a pale color, but saturated enough that it's easily legible. It also has a good distribution of shimmer while writing. It's an ink that isn't initially jumping off the page to get attention, but really shines when you give it a close look.
