Pros
It's definitely blue with a splash of purple. Hands down the best match for a 'tardis' blue ink i've been able to find. It subtly stands out over other blue hues and is a vast improvement over plain ordinary black.

All the iroshizuku inks behave well in all of my fountain pens.
All of the pilot iroshizuku inks are rather wet, so even with a pilot/namiki extra fine nib, you will get a very smooth and ple... Read More
I predominately us iroshizuku ink and find it the best, although pricey.
