Something New...

[wnclee]

Hello. Hope all are well. I have about 2 dz. plus+ inks, and honestly I realize with some exceptions; that few are really unique in color. At least to me. e.g.: J.Herbin 1670 rouge hematite ( my fav.), Larmes de Cassis & Vert Olive, Caran d' A Saffron, Iroshizuku, ku-jaku and a couple of others. Beyond these, I have all of the basics covered... Bottom line is, I'm in the market for a bottle or 2 of uncommon, unique colors. I've been looking at the Noodler's Ottoman Rose which looks really nice to me, but hard to tell on monitor at times. Red is my favorite, with green right behind. An maybe some shades in between that are similar. If anyone has any suggestions; hopefully based on personal experience, I would most appreciate your input...Thanks for time, LWL

Have you looked at Noodler's Apache Sunset? It is a red orange and with the right nib some interesting shading to almost red.

Ottoman Rose is a great color - the vivid color of actual fuchsia blooms. Too dark to be hot pink and too light to be magenta, it's an ink with personality.

May I suggest Diamine Deep Dark Red. Gorgeous https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/index.php/topic/254864-diamine-cult-pens-deep-dark-red/

Or, for a dark red, Herbin's 1670, preferably an early charge with the waxed bottle neck.

Try out scented inks like all 5 of Herbin's, or better yet, Montblanc's White Forest or several De Atramentis inks. Especially their Hyacinth and Ylang Ylang are great. Strong smells but also quite "authentic". Their colours too!

If you like red, I suggest Noodler's Nikita, it is definitely a Red's Red.

I've become enamored with Blue Steel it's a Noodler's / Dromgoole's exclusive.
