For blindingly bright, you need PR Tangerine Dream. It's the real "don't use this in broad daylight without migraine meds and mirrored shades" orange.

 

I think I might like Orange Crush, but it was darker than I was looking for.

I've never understood why PR gave this ink the name Orange Crush, because it is a darker, brownish orange color. I would have picked a name like Autumn Orange.

 

Like PR's Fiesta Red and Burgundy Mist inks, Orange Crush seems to get browner over time, once the bottle has been opened. For that reason, I prefer Noodlers Habanero for a true orange ink.

Thanks for the review. I really like this ink (one of my favorites), though it does have a little too much pumpkin and brown when flowing from certain pens (Sonnet). I bought PR's Shoreline Gold last week to get a color that avoids the brown hue and presents a nice pure orange, but I can't seem to use up the OC that I have in the Safari to test it out. That's a goal for the weekend.

Thanks for the review. Now I think I should have gotten orange crush instead of the Noodler's Majestic Orange (Singapore series) which I just got in the mail. That's really bright. I don't think I'll actually use it as a writing ink, but I want to try it as a highlighter.

Orange Crush might be an excellent ink for grading/commenting...hmmm - I'm thinking about getting it.

I've been playing with PR's Shoreline Gold. If the darkness or the brown in the Orange Crush gets to you, then give the Shoreline Gold a shot. It's a pure orange (not too bright or pastel) without any of the pumpkin/brown quality of the Orange Crush. Tear an orange in half and look at the color...that's what SG will give you.

 

Sorry if I'm hijacking the thread. I love the flexibility of having both colors.

Great review! I really like the look of the ink as it goes from a light orange at the top of your letters down to a darker orange/light red at the bottom. Very striking. And now I have added it to my list of inks to get. That Pear Tree Pens ink sampler is looking pretty tasty right now.

Nice review. I got a bottle a month or two ago, and I was surprised (and rather disappointed) with the amount of red in it. I had it in my Vista (1.5 italic) for a fill or two, and I would classify it as a red with a hint of orange, rather than the other way around, at least unless you're writing very fast or with a very dry pen. I think I'll be getting Tangerine Dream next time.

A really vibrant and fresh colour, thanks for the review.

And how can this be, because he is the Kwisatz Haderach.

Neat. I may have to add this to the list, since I really like orange inks. It looks a bit darker than Iroshizuku Yu-yake, which is my current go-to orange ink.

Like PenTieRun I own both the Orange Crush and the Shoreline Gold and really enjoy using both of them although the Shoreline Gold sometimes appears a bit light to me.

Try darkening it with a bit of brown...Noodler's Walnut maybe....and see if that makes it more attractive to you.

Just experiment with small amounts in a vial or bottle apart from your main supply in case of any adverse reactions.

 

 

ETA: The OC is a really nice color. Thanks for the review!
