Officially it’s a chromoshading burgundy with blue shading. In my swatches, the writing and dip-pen line read more muted and rosy-plum than a deep burgundy. The blue, a deep slate navy, only really comes through where the ink pools heavily.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShading:\u003c\/strong\u003e Strong chromoshading.
