It Has its Uses

While the colour itself is a beautiful purple-toned grey, it's far too pale for writing on anything other than pure white paper. I personally enjoy using it for sketching or other artistic purposes. It does indeed shade, though not as much as I personally would like. Order a sample before ordering a bottle.

Not suitable for writing

As pretty as this soft grey is, it's utterly unusable for writing. It's completely illegible. It would be good for sketching and shading.

I gave it two stars because I bought it with the intention of writing with is, but it's by no means a bad ink. It has good flow and lubrication as with all J. Herbin ink. Just be aware that if you want a grey for writing, this isn't the one.
