Caran d'Ache Blue Sky is a rich, well-saturated blue from the discontinued Colors of the Earth series, known for its elegant appearance and solid performance. The ink flows smoothly with good shading but exhibits some bleed-through and feathering on certain papers, making it best suited for quality paper and everyday writing. It represents Caran d'Ache's philosophy of offering natural, emotionally expressive colors without attempting special properties like water resistance.
