Harbour Blue
A deep, dense blue. Where it pools at the end of a stroke it dries with a red-copper sheen you see when you tilt the page.

Harbour Blue on Glaze
A swab and a word on Glaze, written live.
Harbour Blue carries more dye than the paper can take in. The extra stays on the surface and dries as a thin film that throws back red light.
You get that sheen where ink gathers: the bottom of a down-stroke, a full stop, the loop of an e. On a phone, tilt it. On a computer, move the mouse and the lamp moves with it.
On absorbent paper the sheen hides and you are left with a clean, serious blue. Both are worth having.
