Interesting blue-grey shading ink

This ink looks best in pure white paper than on cream papers like the Midori or Passepied cream papers. It starts off in a blue-pink-purple just like the Ink Institute Electric Blue Spider Lily, but changes into a blue-grey when dried. Not too dissimilar to another one of Ink Institute’s inks called “Cat at Dusk”, just that Mexican Hens is a lot less grey and lighter to the eye. The Chinese name for Mexican Hens is cute - “Dance of Gion /Qiyuan” - I learnt something new today.
