It’s grey. It’s not the right grey for me but if you’re looking for what I would say is a very true grey then this would be a great ink

A very neutral gray with balanced blue/purple undertones which still feels warm in tone. Nice shading with even a fine nib.

Earl Grey is my go to grey. Highly recommend!

This ink is a beauty. Everything by Diamine is wonderful, but the color is more nuanced than you see online. This ink has a more purplish hue than you see online.

Great medium gray. Lighter than Diamine Graphite.

As a lot of reviewers state, this is a well-behaved, dry-leaning ink that shows minimal feathering or ghosting even on poor-quality paper. It would work well in a gusher pen to control flow. But here's the thing: Diamine Earl Grey is not gray; it's a pale shade of blue. Hopefully my pictures will show this in contrast to Diamine Graphite. It's a nice ink, just maybe a bit of false advertising on the name ...

It is a good grey colour. It goes on darker, almost black but lightens up when it drys.

Love the color. Nice shade of grey. Using it to journal.

I use Diamine's Earl Grey in an EF nib, so it reads a bit closer to black than it does grey. There's a wonderful purple undertone that shows through very often as I'm writing, making it much more fun than a normal black. Very good flow and just an over-all solid ink that I need to buy more of!

I really like this ink. I rarely empty a pen of ink just by using it up but I've used this up sample already and had to get a bottle. It's a very nice color, darker than grey but not jet black either. Perfect

The ink looks pretty close to the pictures on GouletPens, but I'd like to mention that it looks more purpley-gray in person. The flow is a little drier than my other Diamine ink (Twilight blue), and there's the tiniest hint of feathering when I write on cheaper paper with my TWSBI Eco F, which writes wet to me. I think putting this in a drier writer like my Platinum Prefounte F would make it great for notetaking because it dries pretty quickly and is an unassuming/easy-to-read color for long writing sessions

I bought this based on the recommendation of a reddit group- just read about it here. I fell in love with it! I normally go for bright or rich corf Inks, but wanted a subtle ink for a change. I really do like it a lot! It can look black at times, or like a faded black. The color is well saturated for me, and flows nicely.

This is is a true gray color which is what I was looking for but it doesn't have enough saturation for my taste. It's much lighter in my Goulet fine nib than what it looks like in the swab sample writing. If it wrote a little darker it would be a great color.
