We have had a flurry of new inks from that company and the only reservation I would make is the smaller bottle. I find it a bit unstable when I try to fill up my converter -- which takes two hands, so the bottle is on its own.
As for the colour, the blotch on my computer screen makes it feel a bit greyish purple but when written on the page it is definitly brown, albeit a very subtle undertone of purple is there. All in all, a very pleasant and classy color which one can use everywhere.. subdued but original. I like it a lot.
