Hardly anything is inked right now, it's a pen cleaning day in my house. These are the only ones that have avoided flushing.

 

Diamine Flamingo Pink I bought this one purely to pair with the Coral Lamy Safari I had requested for Christmas and it's a pretty close match to the pen, just slightly less fluoro which makes it not too bad to read. Definitely not an everyday writing colour but I'm using it for important reminders in my planner and it works well for that. Probably a permanent pairing as I don't see me using the coral safari as an everyday carry.

 

Diamine Lavender I just don't get why this ink is called lavender, it's nowhere near lavender. I'm not liking this ink which doesn't surprise me as the sample has sat untouched for months already. The saturation is great but it's too slow to dry. I have to go away and do something else before I can turn a page after using this ink. Unsurprisingly this one is next up for cleaning.

 

Noodlers Black my favourite staple black - not my first choice to put in my falcon but I've been writing my wedding invites and this is the only ink I could find that didn't bleed (the previous sample of the paper handled everything I threw at it, so I must have got a different batch when I went back to the paper store to buy more :(). I can't wait to flush this out too and put my sample of Iroshizuku Yu-yake in here instead.

That Flamingo Pink makes me sigh dreamily. :)

 

Truly! And the Lavender (Plum??) is wonderful, too!

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Yes, it is an un-obtainable item.

This may not be the perfectly appropriate thread for this, but I'll dare to breach etiquette... ;)

 

For those of us who love (eat, breathe, sleep, etc.) COLOR, here's a map that may fascinate you:

Then, if you want names for the colors, according to the hex number listed, you can look those up on websites that allow for easy input of hex numbers, such as http://www.color-blindness.com/color-name-hue/

 

Enjoy!

Cute! And does the de Atramentis Elderberry have a scent, or just a wonderful color (as if that weren't enough!)?

A lovely scent ... sort of fruity... like I would imagine Elderberries smell. The blackberry ink is sweeter smelling and the ink is darker.
