  Diamine Oxford Blue
  It was the first Diamine I bought and I was disappointed by the color!
  While in videos it looks dark blue, in practice it looked almost black. I tried it in many pens and only in two did it slightly break the black!
  Only in conditions of intense lighting did some blue emerge. I would say iron blue,
  But I liked it because it has AMAZING writing and is vibrant-bright.
  Recently I diluted it with distilled water in proportions of 1/4 and 1/5 and finally saw its blue.
  So be careful compared to the photo.
  P.S. This ink can handle even greater dilution up to 50/50 water, the wider the nib you use, the more dilution it can handle.
  CAUTION In any case, it will alter the lubrication of the nib and the good writing, while at the same time it will lose some of its shine.
  Also, do not dilute with water directly in the bottle. Always do it in the pen's cartridge.
  P.S. 2 Also, depending on the dilution, I ended up not distinguishing it from Diamine Blue Pearl.
  P.S. 3 In the photos, the colors appear brighter than in reality.
