Isn't that the oddest thing? Suddenly you play with an ink and it speaks to you, and it's the one you've been looking for for a long time? Crazy, right? :)

Yes I love it when that happens! I found my perfects in a couple couples (thanks to samples!), but am still looking for a orange, blue, and red. Edited by musicman123

Are you loving for the other colors or looking? (After all, your cat tried to seduce me today).

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

Don't know where to start?  Look at the Inky Topics O'day.  Then, see inks sorted by color: Blue Purple Brown Red Green Dark Green Orange Black Pinks Yellows Blue-Blacks Grey/Gray UVInks Turquoise/Teal MURKY

Looking! And fixed on my post! I didn't intend for my profile picture to be that. It just happened. I may switch it back to the seduction cat soon! :)

I love your Supacman avatar, Amber!

 

Me, too! Very bold and attention-getting! :D

A very interesting orange comparison: I've heard the (silly, IMHO) talk that "Akkerman inks are just repackaged Diamine." Not so.

 

In a dip pen, Diamine's Pumpkin looks identical to Akkerman's Oranje Boven, but the Q-Tip swab washes are totally different.

 

See for yourselves:

I love Orange inks.

 

BTW, the chromatography shows these to be similar, but they could have an additive that makes them different.

Interesting idea. I hadn't thought of that. Good point.

The scans make these look retina searing. They are not.

Handsome inks —based on the scan. My kinds of colors, too. I do love that red-orange range, but not as much the "circus peanut" bright orange.

 

Thanks for the comparo-view.

Duking it out tonight: Diamine's Gerbera and Pumpkin. May the best orange win...

Gerbera is slightly richer and darker, while Pumpkin brighter and lighter (in my opinion).

I know what you mean! On the page, the two colors are noticeably different, but the scan sort of evened them out. I wonder if that's part of the scanner design —leveling out the variations? Hmmmm...

That could be. The Gerbera is also a tad shady and that doesn't show in the scan.

Not exactly orange, but not exactly brown either. So I posted to both TODs. The exquisite Brandy Dazzle brought to you by Diamine Shimmertastic Inks!
