That is a MIGHTY ink! I LOVE that piebald swatch you showed! This looks like it needs a wet M or larger nib to show off that color.

The next pen I use this ink with will wither have a broad nib or some nice flex

Very nice ink! I love murky, muted colours, such as this. Thank you for reviewing it!

I'm in the process of ordering some of this to sell in the Lucky 7 Pens eBay store. I've not tried the ink before but based on your review am really looking forward to getting some in. I might even keep just a little bit for myself ;-)

 

Best wishes,

Diamine Golden Brown is another ink I recently discovered which would fit this category of ink colors.

 

FPN member punch did a review two years ago and the posted scan matches the real thing pretty well: punch's Golden Brown review

 

From my initial impression Diamine Golden Brown is inbetween the De Atramentis Khaki and Herbin Ambre de Birmanie so it is slightly lighter and shows less olive but more golden brown hues. It basicly looks a little bit like matte brass metal (without the metallic effect).

 

I hope to add a scan of the Diamine Golden Brown soon as well.

 

Cheers

I concluded after a couple weeks of use in a Parker Super 21 that I love this ink. Flow is reasonable and I've not seen any poor behavior on Clairefontine or Rhodia. DeA Khaki is truly a unique color among my various browns. My pen and ink combo produces a result consistent with the scans posted here. Thanks for this review!
