Colorverse Colorvent 2024 Day 6 is "Kilonova", a blue-purple/indigo ("blurple") with medium red/purple-ish sheen.

I'm a huge fan of blurples! This is my favorite ink so far.

The sheen is prominent but doesn't completely take over.

On papers where it shades, the sheening seems to stay on the parts with more ink and the remaining areas are much more blue (Check the Iroful sample!)

Pen is a Vazir Meteor Shower with an Osprey Flex nib

Photo of a "Colorverse Colorspace Size C" swatch card, type 2 which is based on the Hubble space telescope. The ink on the card is a blue-purple "blurple" ink with reflective red/purple sheen where ink has pooled. Upper left is text reading "#6 Kilonova" written in an EF nib and then a stub nib. Just to the right side of the middle at the top is a large illustration of the Hubble space telescope in negative space among swabbed ink. In the middle right side is text "Hubble Space Telescope NASA" in negative space among scribbled ink. In the middle left is text reading "You are 336.2mi from Earth" in negative space among ink scribbles. In the middle lower left is a blob of swirled ink drawn by a glass dip pen. Near the center are "Mars" and "Uranus" with circles representing those planets, in more ink. Lower right is text "Colorvent 2024". Laying across the card is a Vazir Meteor shower fountain pen, which is blue with streaks of blue, purple, and yellow stacked celluloid.

A few people asked for a video/writing sample of the Osprey Ultra-Flex nib, so here is a quick take of it in action since I inked it with Kilonova.

Also the "Colorvent 2024" writing on the lower right of the swatch card in the post above this was written in this pen.
