Colorverse Dust Storm is a light yellow-brown.
This is the third of a trio of Colorverse ink samples I was gifted last year in the Secret Santa exchange.
The teeny tiny 5ml Colorverse glass sample bottles are fun, but not very useful. I had to pipette ink out into an inkwell just to swatch them because no dip pen I had would fit in the bottle opening.
Scans
The scans make it look more tan than it does in visible light.
Photos
It’s quite mustardy, though that doesn’t always come through so strongly depending on the light and angle.
There isn’t any sheen, and only a small amount of shading.
Microscope
Doesn’t look any better to me up close!
Chromatography
Interestingly most of the color I didn’t like stayed right at the starting line, it separated out to much nicer orange and yellow.
There are a couple spots of glowing orange and a slight blue halo past the leading edge.

Verdict
This one is a miss for me, too mustardy, much like like Colorverse Sunbeam. I prefer more yellow-orange, and this is sort of a dark yellow-gray? It has some shading, but it’s just lighter/darker and not any different colors mixed in. Also not even a hint of sheen. It’s legible, though, and not too light.
