Vermillion is a "New Century" Fountain Pen Ink. "Launched in January 2006, New Century Fountain Pen Ink is available in 30 vibrant shades also suitable for any fountain pen brand"
Tested in a .5 cursive italic Lamy Safari in a Paperblanks lined journal with off white pages.
It's the color of a ripe tomato - an orangey red. Saturated with a little shading. This ink is very dry and it took effort to push the nib across the page. When that happens to me I want to flush the ink out of the pen and just be done with it. Nothing frustrates me more. I'd rather write with a less than ideal color with great flow than a perfect color with bad flow.
It's close in shade to my now-favorite Poppy Red though nowhere near as saturated. I'm sticking with the Poppy Red.
