Rohrer and Klingner - Königsblau

Rohrer & Klingner - Königsblau - Ink drop

One of Rohrer & Klingner’s more widely known inks, Königsblau (king’s blue or royal blue) is a very pleasing medium blue. It’s not an uncommon color, but they’ve done it well here.

Although only a moderate shading ink, there is a hint of pink copper sheen with broader nibs. In wetter areas of pooling, the previously light sheen grows and displays as a gleaming copper. Against the rich blue, it looks fantastic.
