After a we...view moreek in a TWSBI Eco Broad, it now comes out of the pen looking like an entirely different color than what it had been a week ago; it now looks like a soft blue.
Maybe it is supposed to shift colors and the color name somehow indicates this? Maybe it oxidizes? Or maybe my sample is an anomaly. view less
