Ink Review #572: Ink Institute Cat at Dawn

Today I will be writing about the third ink in the Cat Series, Cat at Dawn. This is a warm blue ink with purple tones.

This ink had high shading and no sheen. The color is a medium blue that is a few shades lighter than Robert Oster Grey Seas. The base color leans purple but the ink shades blue.

Cat at Dawn had an average flow similar to the other inks in this series.

Overall: This is a very pretty, purple-toned blue ink. The color falls between Robert Oster Grey Seas and Troublemaker Milky Ocean, although the latter two shade more significantly.
