There's no detailed official colour description, but the name and the label art suggest a brown cola red. My swatches are pinker and more purple-leaning than that, with no real brown to them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShading:\u003c\/strong\u003e Clear shading, from bright pink-red in lighter strokes to dark cherry at the pooling points.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSheen:\u003c\/strong\u003e Heavy olive-gold to green sheen. It covers large areas of the swabs and shows on the edges of ordinary handwriting too, so it isn't only visible in heavy pools.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShimmer:\u003c\/strong\u003e None.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlow:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe interesting bit: \u003c\/strong\u003eSailor made this for BlueBlack, a pen and ink shop in Seoul, as part of their Drink Series of inks named after drinks. The bottle carries the Korean name 체리콕 (\"cherry coke\") alongside a cherry-topped glass of cola. It's a very good match for cherry cola, right down to the fizz of green-gold sheen on top.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis is a hand-decanted 4ml sample vial from my own bottle.\u003cbr\u003ePhotos are my own swatches on Tomoe River Paper.\u003cbr\u003eI'm a collector and I'm always happy to talk ink, so please message me if you have any questions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sailor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57266212962630,"sku":"INK-065","price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1020\/9696\/1862\/files\/SailorxBlueBlack-CherryCoke3.jpg?v=1789857242","url":"https:\/\/thepensmuggler.co.uk\/products\/sailor-x-blueblack-cherry-coke","provider":"The Pen Smuggler","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
