A Little Orange Ink For The Season

[Geoff V]

Cd'A Saffron and Diamine Orange are leading so far...

Another vote for CdA Saffron!

Great comparison scan!

 

Diamine Orange might be what you're looking after. It is an in-your-face orange that makes you awake and happy.

Thanks for the suggestions. I looked at some online swatches of Cd'A Saffron and Diamine Orange just now. They make Diamine Orange look bright and consistent in color while Saffron looks a tad softer with good shading. Is that accurate?

Yes, the Cd'A Saffron is probably a little more yellow and has excellent shading.

I really like Noodler's Habannero. I nice orange with a hint of brown. Stands out but easy on the eyes.

The great thing about the CdA Saffron is the awesome shading - I mean some of the best with pools of red in the orange. It is by far and away my favourite orange (with red). As others have said expensive but worth it.

Thanks for the suggestions. Both C d'A Saffron and Diamine Orange would be good additions to my collection. The former sounds like a good replacement for Noodler's Apache Sunset when faster drying time is important. The latter would be perfect when only a brilliant orange will do.

 

Dang. That means two more inks go on my list or better yet a little ink trading might be in order. Hmmm........

+1 for Diamine Orange. (But you've got a great line-up there, Margana.)

Thanks. They are mostly samples but hold enough ink to create some orange-y goodness.

On the subject of orangerie, I found that link of 3 orange comparison.

I was looking for a perfumed ink and found the orange scent of ambre de birmanie parfumé orange - Orange Scented Amber Ink

 

I like the idea of a summer scent before entering the winter.

 

Should receive it soon - hopefully..
