A great, comparative review. It's given me more to think about before I visit them in April. Nice to see the colours like this as well.

I too think that the colour comparison is nice and up to very persuasive, but... what does that have to do with Amstel, Hertog Jan, or Grolsch ?

Welcome to FPN and great first start!

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Create a Ghostly Avatar and I'll send you a letter. Check out some Ink comparisons: The Great PPS Comparison 

Don't know where to start?  Look at the Inky Topics O'day.  Then, see inks sorted by color: Blue Purple Brown Red Green Dark Green Orange Black Pinks Yellows Blue-Blacks Grey/Gray UVInks Turquoise/Teal MURKY

Great sample!

Are these samples, or do you actually have the bottles?

I don't have scans to share, but I just got a bottle of Akkerman Treves Turquoise and one of Akkerman Oranje Boven.

The Treves Turquoise is reallyreallyreally close to the Diamine Aqua Blue, and the Oranje Boven is reallyreallyreally close to the Diamine Orange. I'm seeing them in the light of near dusk, though, so maybe I'll be able to tell a difference in strong daylight, but so far, they look so close as to be virtually identical (Oranje to orange, and turquoise to aqua, that is).

Nice colors, both. Hardly any shading at all, though.
