Colorverse Colorvent 2024 Day 20 is "White Hole", a light blue with lots of shading, no sheen.

Looks great in a pen w/EF nib. It's light, but legible. However, with a dip pen it's so pale it's hardly visible at times, and so watery it won't stick. So maybe don't use it in anything too high-flow. Check the difference in the first photo between top left (dip) and bottom right (EF pen).

Pen is a light blue Jinhao Shark with an EF 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 very pale light blue with some darker areas were more ink settled on the paper. Upper left is text reading "#20 White Hole" written in an EF nib and then a stub nib. Some letters are extremely light, others have areas with much darker ink. Just to the left 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 swabbed ink. Lower right is text "Colorverse 2024" and the ink is a much more even shade that is brighter blue, not as pale. Laying across the card is a light blue Jinhao Shark fountain pen with a transparent light blue section. The cap of the pen is shaped like the front of a shark, with a mouth, eyes, and a fin.
Collage of six photos of text on paper. Each photo consists of: - "White Hole" written with an EF nib - "White Hole" written with a stub nib - A swirl of ink made with a glass dip pen The ink color is the same for all, a very pale light blue with lots of shading, no sheen. Less dense areas are nearly invisible on paper, are legible light blue. From the top left, the papers are: - Maruman Mnemosyne - Clairefontaine Triomphe - Paperage Notebook - Iroful Notebook - Midori MD Notebook - Tomoe River S Kanso

The videos of this one appear more blue than the ink is in most cases. I wish it looked more like that all the time, but it ends up being a bit lighter in practice. Maybe I'll let it evaporate a bit to concentrate it a little more since it seems to be a bit watery.
