I am not sure whether the dye in Waterman Florida Blue will stay in solution if it is diluted very much with the Liberty's Elysium. I've not tried mixing those because I knew that Waterman Florida Blue is a rather acidic ink and Liberty's Elysium is around neutral pH. or mix this with Noodler's Liberty Elysium. I would agree with your assessment but lean toward Waterman Florida Blue. I'm impressed! Thank you for your effort: it's really quite revealing. Nor, despite the story of its origin, did J Herbin's forthcoming Ocean Blue look much like IKB either. Nor, despite another poster's claim, was Baystate Blue that close either. I was surprised by some of the results.ĭespite OP's attempt to ground the choice in objective measurements (all my attempts that way failed too), Asa Blue wasn't the closest match I found. I would advise looking at the jpeg first, not knowing which ink is which. Below the jpeg is the identifying list of inks whose swatches appear in the graphic. Consider the swatches numbered from top to bottom, 1-8. The jpeg following has the Klein blue to the left and right, compared to 8 inks from swatches from Goulet Pens' wonderful library of ink swatches. I was surprised by how dark the Klein blue was, given its supposed origins. Well, being a geezer, and therefore with time on my hands, I rose like a fat old trout to the bait.
at least I could find no reference to it. It's interesting that nobody has mentioned Diamine Asa Blue on the network. IKB was developed by Klein and chemists to have the same color brightness and intensity as dry pigments, which it achieves by suspending dry pigment in polyvinyl acetate, a synthetic resin marketed in France as Rhodopas M or M60A by the firm Rhône Poulenc. WIKI: International Klein Blue (or IKB as it is known in art circles) was developed by French artist Yves Klein as part of his search for colors which best represented the concepts he wished to convey as an artist. The HSB of Asa Blue at a saturated point in the swatch is: Saturation - the vividness of hue (the degree of difference from gray)īrightness - the percentage of brightness of the color. Hue - a particular gradation of color (i.e. The HSB color system is based on three different ways of varying color which will each be explained in turn. Using the HSB color system and a swatch from Goulet Pens, I find that Diamine Asa Blue is very close to International Klein Blue (IKB). If it's true that IKB is the most perfect expression of blue, I asked myself if there was an ink that closely approximated this color. Later, he said, he remembered the colour blue, 'the blue of the sky in Nice that was at the origin of my career as a monochromist' and at an exhibition in Milan in January 1957, he showed work entirely from what he called his 'blue period', having searched, as he said, 'for the most perfect expression of blue for more than a year'. Monochrome paintings, begun around 1955, freed him from such constraints. To Klein, painting was 'like the window of a prison, where the lines, contours, forms and composition are determined by the bars'. "Yves Klein, born in Nice in 1928, was throughout his life determined to find a vessel for a 'spiritual' pictorial space, and it was this that led him eventually to live actions.
