What Color Are Your Fingers Today?

[chromantic]

Haha! I managed to fill an empty cart with Rose Cyclamen without getting ink on my fingers. Of course, I probably got a little Pelikan Blue on them when I emptied the cart a few days ago.

Some faint blue splotches from filling my new Pelikan M200 with ink. I can never seem to wipe all the ink off...

[uemuraw]

Diamine Havas Turquoise, and a bit of Iroshizuku Kon-Peki.

[Guardy]

A bit of Pelikan Blue-Black (my Noodler's Ahab is a jerk), as well as the sliiightest hint of Standardgraph Coffee Brown.

 

Which is a very misleading name, fyi - my bottle, at least, is more of a dark caramel. But oooooh boy, is it pretty. The more I use Standardgraph inks, the more I love them.

 

/EDIT: So, despite what it says on the label, I'm almost certain that's actually NOT coffee brown. I'd say somebody stuck the wrong label on a bottle of maize yellow there. I'll have to check that against an actual bottle of maize yellow, but I'm not particularly bothered by it. It's a nice ink, very close to J. Herbin's Ambre de Birmanie, except prettier. So, basically my new all-time favorite.

Adjusting nibs. Diamine blue black. Pelikan Edelstein Amethyst. Dripped a few drops of Diamine Havasu Turquoise on my hands when I got too motivated priming a feed.

[Aysun]

Mostly noodlers Ottoman azure and Jherbin encre rouge.

 

Probably also oxblood, golden sands, and emerald of chivor.

 

I got a new pen in and rotated all the colors to their proper pens.

it stung a little bit.

Several shades of red, by different ink makers, as usual .

[AndyYNWA]

Lamy Dark Lilac and Bungbox 4B

[LWJ2]

Red, in places -- had to adjust a nib -- Noodler's Nikita. On the other hand (quite literally), green, Noodler's Bad Green Gator.

[inkstainedruth]

Montblanc Midnight Blue. It's an okay blue-black but way too wet for this Café Crème with the super wide italic (supposedly an italic medium) nib.

Dark Lilac, after switching nibs in my Lamy Joy from 1.9 to 1.5. What a difference 0.4 mm does in handling!

Iroshizuku Ama-iro and Noodler's Habanero.

I like these two colors together, but I decided to swap the nibs on my Lamy Safaris, and found out that Habanero is so slick that I can't actually use the scotch tape trick to remove the nib! Eek!

[DrDebG]

Cleaned three pens, and loaded two -one with my favorite L'Artisan Pastellier Callifolio Bleu Pacifique and the other with Franklin Christoph Midnight Emerald.

[trdsf]

Private Reserve Sonic Blue (in the desk pen), Lamy Turquoise (in the Wing Sung 233), Noodler's Berning Red (in the Parker 61), and Iroshizuku Shink-Ryoku (in the Cascade). I love them all.

[uemuraw]

A little Noodler's Navajo Turquoise and some Diamine Blue Black. Just touched the edge of the bottle as I was inking pens.

[Arkanabar]

Oy gevalt.

First, Sheaffer Turquoise (Slovenian) from the last efforts at trying to straighten and align the nib on the black Plasir I'd dropped.

Then I tried to clean out the Pilot Crystal which I'd loaded with Yama-Guri that had gone dry. The CON-20 I was using leaked.

Then I decided to flush my Parker Vector calligraphy pen of Quink Washable Blue, put up the super-broad nib I'd had in it, and fill the cart with Sherwood and attach it to my narrowest Vector calligraphy nib. The flushing left ink stains. The filling did not.

So: Sheaffer Turquoise, Iroshizuku Yama-Guri, and Parker Quink (probably washable) Blue.

Faux Parker Penman Sapphire and Pilot Blue-Black.
