Colorverse Colorvent 2024 Day 22 is "Portuguese Meteor", a bright aqua/turquoise color with low shading and cyan shimmer. There may be some multi-shading in areas with lots of ink, some parts are more green, others are more blue.

It's legible but a bit too light/pastel for me for general use, but maybe I'll find a purpose for it eventually.

Pen is a TWSBI Eco (Cerulean Blue) 1.1 stub

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 bright aqua/turquoise color with low shading and cyan shimmer. Upper left is text reading "#22 Portuguese Meteor" written in an EF nib and then a stub nib. 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 "Colorvent 2024". Laying across the card is a TWSBI Eco fountain pen, with Cerulean Blue cap/tail and silver accents, 1.1 stub nib.

Photo of ink blob under magnification. Paper fibers are visible. The ink is a bright aqua/turquoise color. The left side is more blue, the right side is more green. There are cyan shimmer flakes occasionally throughout the blob.

The shimmer in this isn't quite so packed (or mobile) as Milky Way under magnification. The color changes a bit as it dries, a lot lighter and more green in the end.
