Colorverse Colorvent 2024 Day 7 is "Rover (Glistening)", a dark gray with iridescent? shimmer. I thought it was silver but there is more going on.

Looks like a star-filled night sky!

Shimmers can be fun and interesting, and I could see this getting some use. In actual writing the shimmer is fairly evenly distributed and not overloaded.

Pen is a TWSBI Diamond 580ALR Black with a 1.1 stub nib (which handles shimmer well).

Photo of a "Colorverse Colorspace Size C" swatch card, type 1 which is based on the James Webb space telescope. The ink on the card is very dark gray, almost black, with reflective shimmer particles that appear to be many different colors. Upper left is text reading "#7 Rover" written in an EF nib and then a stub nib. Below the text are multiple stars and a galaxy outlined in ink. Upper right is a large illustration of the James Webb telescope in negative space among swabbed ink. In the lower left is a small illustration of the Hubble space telescope in scribbled ink. In the middle lower left is a blob of ink with some visible areas where it dried darker. In the middle right is a blob of swirled ink drawn by a glass dip pen. Lower right is text "Colorvent 2024". Laying across the card is a fountain pen, a TWSBI Diamond 580ALR which is black with silver accents.

Photo of writing in ink under magnification. Paper fibers are visible No specific letter can be discerned. The ink is dark gray with some areas that are almost black. There are reflective particles throughout the line of ink, which are reflecting in several colors but mostly near white, teal, pinkish.
