Ink Review #2054: Colorverse A Boo

Let’s take a look at Colorverse A Boo from the Colorverse Project Collection. You can find this ink for sale at most retailers including Vanness Pens.

The color:

A Boo is a light bubblegum pink.

*For my swab cards I use a Col-o-ring by Skylab Letterpress, a medium Pilot Ishime and a Mabie Todd Swan.

Swabs:

In large swabs on Tomoe River paper the ink has some shading.

Writing samples:

Let's take a look at how the ink behaves on fountain pen friendly papers: Rhodia, Tomoe River, and Leuchtturm.

*For my writing samples I use:

• EF Pilot Vanishing Point

• F, M, B Pilot Ishime

• Vintage Mabie Todd Swan (flex nib)

• Rhodia Goalbook

• Taroko Enigma notebooks (68gsm TR)

• Leuchtturm A5

• Pen & Gear Paper from Walmart

Dry time: 40 seconds

Water resistance: Low

Feathering: None

Show through: Medium

Bleeding: None

Other properties: medium shading, no sheen, and no shimmer.

On 20 lb copy paper the ink had some feathering and some bleeding.

Comparison Swabs:

A Boo is closest to Sailor Peche. Click here to see the pink inks together.

Longer Writing:

I used a TWSBI Eco-T Coral with a medium nib on a Taroko Enigma notebook. The ink had a dry flow.

Overall, the ink is a bit too pale and dry for me. I would stick to medium and broad nibs for the most legibility.
