Ink
In 2019, the Fountain Pens UK Facebook group collaborated with Diamine to create two inks, Scribble Purple and Monboddo’s Hat. The inks are named after Scribble Monboddo, a purple ink lover who runs the Too Many Purples blog. Monboddo’s Hat is a ink colour inspired by Scribble Monboddo’s purple top hat.
The ink is a saturated dark purple with red undertones with a wet flow. At no surprise to anyone, it has the most sheen on Tomoe River paper. The official description calls it a gold sheen but it looks a little greenish to me.
On Rhodia paper, there is shading, no sheen, no feathering and a little bleedthrough.
The ink left a ring of colour residue behind so cleaning is more involved than usual.
Writing Sample
This is written with a TWSBI ECO-T medium nib.
Below are a couple of photos of how it looks when it is written on both sides of the paper.

The different behavior as to the sheen is interesting to me. Did the Rhodia paper dry faster?

I didn’t take any measurements but it does feel that it dries quicker on Rhodia compared to Tomoe River.
