It seems there's no Diamine's Brilliant Red review on FPN (not in review index) so I thought I can share my review originally posted on polish fountain pen enthusiasts forum. I'm sorry the text on photos is in polish, however I didn't have time to repeat all the process and write another review in english. Anyway the color is more important than these few sentences that basically say how much I enjoy this ink.

Thanks for the review. It's certainly bright. I'm not seeing a lot of shading but that could be the whole page to monitor thing.

Thank you!

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

If you find it's OK that the text is in Polish, I have something like 100-120 ink reviews to download :)

 

Yes please, we'd love to see your reviews . . . !

Absolutely! And when in doubt, add pictures.

This post is just my attempt to restore the images to visvamitra's OP in this thread.

 

All credit - for the images and the review - is owed to visvamitra.

Color seems to be a little orange leaning (too much for my taste) so I don't think it will push Diamine Classic Red out of the top spot as my favorite red ink.  But thanks for resurrecting these old images.
