Where can I view these brilliant colors in person? Apparently these colors are so vibrant, they cannot be accurately displayed on monitors: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_NzVmtbPOrM

One of the most unique blues I've seen is 'Baystate Blue' it's a fountain pen ink [1], cameras and screen doesn't capture how beautiful this ink is. This ink is also highly controversial in fountain pen community because it is accused of destroying fountain pens. (Also you drop it on plastic, and you'd need to use bleach to get it off), but man I love this ink.

Request a sample of Blue 10G513 from Shepherd Color Co or purchase a Radeon Pro WX. https://www.tomshardware.com/news/amd-radeon-pro-wx-series,3...

Supposedly Crayola's "Bluetiful" color was inspired by YInMn but it's not made with the material.
