Brand: 诗色 (DeepL translation: "Poetic Colors". I have also seen the brand referred to as 'Poezie', which is the Czech word for "Poetry".) All in the Morandi Color* Series (Google Translate used below):

And a nameless one from an unidentified brand, also referred to as a Morandi color:

*'Morandi color' is the distinctive pallette of tranquil, muted colors used by the painter Giorgio Morandi, a favorite of mine.

Oh dear! Some of these are just lovely! I've seen them on aliexpress and managed to resist (so far) but this might tip me over the edge...

I'm waiting for a whole bunch of ink samples (mostly Noodler's) that I ordered the other day.
I absolutely have to second Birmingham Alternator Crimson, it is a wonderful color, that suit my planner. I keep waiting for Birmingham to get the 120mm bottle back in stock but its been sold out for a while.

The colours look wonderful. It's a shame how inaccessible those inks are to most fountain pen users outside of (south)east Asia.

 

Some of the Colorverse Project, Vol.2: Constellations inks may be of interest.

I endeavour to be frank and truthful in what I write, show or otherwise present, when I relate my first-hand experiences that are not independently verifiable; and link to third-party content where I can, when I make a claim or refute a statement of fact in a thread. If there is something you can verify for yourself, I entreat you to do so, and judge for yourself what is right, correct, and valid. I may be wrong, and my position or say-so is no more authoritative and carries no more weight than anyone else's here.

https://a.aliexpress.com/_msmwv76


https://a.aliexpress.com/_mN79UzE

 

Both are the same seller and, though shipping price per bottle is pretty high, it is discounted significantly with quantity. My order was $20.70 USD for four 30ml bottles + one 15ml bottle - roughly $0.15 USD per ml.

 

Neither page lists the brand so I asked the seller for each in separate messages. The seller responded somewhat rudely (at least the Google translation of the Chinese makes it seem that way) for the second brand, without revealing what it is.

 

The second is available with or without shimmer. Colors sans shimmer:

I would have said that until last year. Then I ended up with a pink pen. Then two. And they both needed inks that didn't clash. There are so many shades of pink...

Will work for pens... :unsure:

I never thought I"d be a pink ink user, but I like them a lot. Mother's Pink is one of my favorites.

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

Today I did a crazy thing, instead of going to the post office to look for ink, I went to post office box and grabbed an ink.    Today it was a Birmingham Twinkle ink.

Thank you!  My dad had it refinished for me and added the glass.  It is now a privacy wall in my office.

Having been in your office and seen all the bottles of ink and other ink/pen paraphernalia, this is truly a magnificent addition!  You have a real cool (and loving) father, too.

Breathe. Take one step at a time. Don't sweat the small stuff. You're not getting older, you are only moving through time. Be calm and positive.

I'm not the only one! Not clashing doesn't mean I always match them, as I like combining colors that play well together.  But yes, pink ink - I remember being horrified at a sample of Pink Glitz I had been sent and thinking, "What the heck am I going to do with this???"

Would that I, too, could visit such a post office box!  You've done a lovely job!
