Diamine Bottled Ink in Monboddo's Hat

With the help of Diamine, this color was designed by the Fountain Pens UK Facebook group. They wanted to try and create the ultimate purple fountain pen ink. 

Monboddo’s Hat - Lord Monboddo was a Scottish writer who delved into evolutionary theory while teaching orang-utans to play the flute. As far as we know, the latter-day purple ink enthusiast who goes by the nom-de-plume of Scribble Monboddo may or may not be a distant relation – but he definitely has a top hat in this splendid colour, a mid-purple veering towards the blue with a feint yellow sheen. The Fountain Pens UK community on Facebook selected this as one of their two choices from ten Diamine prototypes, in an exercise co-ordinated by Bernardo Gomes. The ink is recommended for fountain pens which naturally run wet.
