PenBBS #235* is a warm, chestnut brown with blue shimmer. The brown base ink and blue shimmer combo is really spectacular, and makes this one of the more unique inks I own. There’s also some really good shading. The flow is slightly wet, but I did have clogging issues in my dry writer (my dry writer never handles shimmer well, so this was not unexpected).
*This ink may be discontinued. I bought my bottle at Vanness a few years ago, but it is no longer listed on their website.
