An update for PithyProlix on the Saliosa (Salix + Scabiosa) Hybrid.
Adding more Scabiosa got me very close to my beloved, cosseted and hoarded Keshimurasaki, but at a more useful level of saturation. This game is fun!

 

Very cool, and since it's made with IG inks it should also be fairly water resistant (although, sadly, not UV resistant).

What the ink ratio you're using?  I'm now curious since I think I have both Scabiosa and Salix....

Check Macchiato Man's Lamy Dark Lilac comparison to other inks. Pansy is the closest but there are other contenders he doesn't compare. 

 

I'm linking in this photo from his comparison - Lamy Dark Lilac left, Diamine Pansy right. To me, they look close but Pansy leans significantly more blue, very similar to the color of many actual purple pansy flowers.

 

 

 

Great comparison.

Someone else using the day’s planetary colors?  I do try to use them for morning pages

(former Waldorf teacher).  Do we need an inky thread for this? I am interested in the rest of your rotation.

Waldorfia it is! Which, of course, gives me freedom to find my personal interpretation:

 

Mars = Rust & Foxes 

Jupiter = my beloved Browns (on Thursday I dress as an oak tree!)

Venus = Green, which is also, currently, both of my e.d.c.s

Sun = free choice!

 

The nice thing is that this somehow allows me to reconcile 7 and 3, the days of the week with my "three color" palette:

Violets = wishes and ideals

Green/Browns = observations

Orange/Pinks = action items.

Ideally (written in violet!), I have one of each with me at all times!

 

Nary a "primary" to be seen!

Cannot stop laughing. Picturing you as oak tree.   I am starting a thread in inky thoughts for this.
