<p>I did a test with the calligraphy ink in just plain water and it's WAY closer to what I was looking for. Big thanks Claude. Also picked up a magenta color as well and it makes an awesome pink fluid.</p>

<p>Interesting! I thought about pen ink for if I ever wanted to try a smoke gray fluid. Even with neon food dye, I don't feel like it's much better than where I was, so I may give this a try.</p>

<p>Yep, I think that's the problem. I've been mixing the color with the lamp under the bottle to where I can see it, but the muddy purple you describe is my issue since I really only have red and blue to work with. I ordered some 'neon' liquid food dye (lime green, hot pink, purple, etc) last night which will hopefully get me much closer to an authentic pink and purple fluid. </p>

<p>when do you add the dye? if you dye the liquid as the very last thing you do and you do it while the lamp is running it shouldn't be that hard to get the color right.</p>
