Colorverse Colorvent 2024 Day 3 is "Moonlit Veil", a light gray color which also seems to be a bit on the wet side. It's lighter than Kiri-same (the only other gray I have up to this point). Looks really nice, especially where it shades. Not sure how much I'd use it, though.

It worked decently both in EF and stub, the EF kept the wetness in check.

Looks about as expected under magnification, maybe a tiny bit of sheen on the edges.

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 light gray. Upper left is text reading "#3 Moonlit Veil" written in an EF nib and then a stub nib. Below the text are two 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 lines 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".
Collage of six photos of text on paper. Each photo consists of: - "Moonlit Veil" written with an EF nib - "Moonlit Veil" written with a stub nib - A swirl of ink made with a glass dip pen The ink color is the same for all: Light gray with some darker gray shading where ink has pooled. From the top left, the papers are: - Maruman Mnemosyne - Clairefontaine Triomphe - Paperage Notebook - Tomoe River S Kanso - Iroful Notebook - Midori MD Notebook
Photo of ink writing under a microscope. Paper fibers are visible. The ink is mostly light gray with some dark gray around the edge and in the center where ink has pooled. The general shape of the writing is a zig-zag but no distinct letters are visible.

Oops forgot to include the pen I put the ink in.
