So, compared to Golden Yellow, Helianthus looks orange.

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

I tried the Helianthus and it seemed really yellow out of the Shaeffer Javelin. But I had also wanted to try it in a wet writing vintage.

My Helianthus is a much brighter yellow than Amberlea's and closer to Mb Golden Yellow. See my small written example on right hand side of Amberlea's recent pic in the Ambers, Yellows & Golds TOD.

Helianthus is an amazing ink. I have a spare bottle for mixing!

I swear Helianthus is yellow. It only looks orange next to golden yellow.

Helianthus reminds me of an egg yolk.

EXACTLY! I put just a tiny bit of Diamine Pumpkin with Helianthus, and I called the mix "Egg Yolk"!! [Or at least the color of egg yolks that you see in other parts of the world. Our eggs are so pale by comparison...]

Did I mention that KWZI grapefruit looks great with an orange pen?

I'm liking the de Atramentis COLA scented ink in my Edison Herald "Copperflake":

Bungbox Kotohogi Kuremai. Is this a pink, red, or orange? Can't decide. :wallbash:
On paper, I see a red-orange.

If kind Webgeckos hadn't sent this to me, I would never had thought of putting such a color in this pen. I'll have to admit that this is a cool color, but can't imagine myself finishing even a fill of this. It has quite a stunning golden sheen where the ink pools, however.

This looks like it has possibilities!

Just ordered the KWZI Grapefruit. Stumbled on it at Vanessa' pens while looking for Gray Plum, then recalled having seen it on your post here. Thanks!

I suppose this counts as orange? :) I don't have a sample written with a fountain pen yet though.

TAG Kyoto's Kyo-Iro Moonlight of Higashiyama (in case not obvious :P). I really like the colour.

I was once a bottle of ink, Inky Dinky Thinky Inky, Blacky Minky Bottle of Ink!

I think it counts! I'd consider it as brown too. Looks like the kind of colour of Diamine Copper Orange, Terracotta:..

All my inks, with ink splash and links to my reviews
