These two are pretty close - although the Stipula seems a touch more vibrant.

I really like Diamine Lavender. Trying to justify to myself getting a bottle. I have so many purple inks...but it is just so pretty.....

Well; here's Terracotta,

 

 

and here's Brandy Dazzle.

 

 

Both done on Rhodia paper 80gsm.

SBRE Brown is more brown (less red) than the others. I am sure that unless side by side people wouldn't know.

 

I was upset I did not get SBRE Brown... now, I am not upset anymore...

 

 

Thanks Lgsoltek..

WOW, thanks LG!

I think they are spot on. I find scanners are good at showing the differences, but didn't have time to scan them.

 

The pic might make them look more similar than naked eye due to the yellow cast of the fluorescent lighting. In any case... they are very similar. So, if you ever wanted Sheaffer's Kings Gold... just grab a bottle of MB Gold..

Liquid gold! What a nice bright color for the damp and dreary day we have here in Indianapolis today! Thanks for the comparison!

You too.... is dreary here too. Rain/Snow/Slush since yesterday... **sigh**

Noticed this in my notebook.... I think I have mentioned it before (but can't remember if I posted it here..)

EVERY day is better with ORANGE or GOLDEN ink!

There are a few others that are similar to those two :-)

Yeah, but not all of them will have the same sheen. I was capturing not only the color but the sheen.

 

Is a great list... and I am sure some will have a very similar "green/gold" sheen.

Two of my favorite inks. Oh, you know just exactly how to brighten my day!!

Ah yes, the sheen. Your pic is lovely.

At least 7 on that list have similar sheen, four of those are as sheeny as oku-yama & pomegranate. Grenade (I didn't include it as I was just showing current inks) has more sheen than any of them, apart from SPP, from my experience.

REALLY??... I need to get my Grenade out. IMO.. Pomegranate has the most extreme sheen. Sometimes is just sheen.. you can't see the ink...
