I, too, adore the Sailor Honey / Hatchimitsu ink! And you're exactly right: it is definitely more orange in real life, but I guess it depends on the paper and pen, right?

 

Oh, and did you mention the silvery SHEEN?!

Hachimitsu is wonderful —not just for the rich orange color, but the silvery sheen. I have it loaded in an Edison with 1.1 stub nib.

 

Have I sent you CRVs with my "Egg Yolk" ink mixture? It's an intense orangey-yellow. I'll include some writing with it when I send back the handsomely bound Co-Razy Views, Volume I. [THANKS for letting me see it, by the way!]

[amberleadavis]

If you have it inked up right now, add it to the page in the book in addition to the CRVs, please.

[HalloweenHJB]

Will do! I'll be sending the book back this week —yikes, it's already back-to-school week for us!

I was thinking we should send it to Texas for the pen show. Let's talk about it in the Pinks.

Very nice!!!

[HalloweenHJB]

It's super bright! I think it's one of those rich colors that most scanners have a hard time picking up.

To my eye, only two straight-up yellows (not gold/doesn't shade to orange) in the thread, PR Buttercup and Diamine Yellow so I thought I'd throw in Skrip Yellow. Buttercup looks paler, while the Diamine looks a bit deeper.

 

 

While I really like the color itself (it's bright and vibrant, with even a little shading), it's terribly impractical: first, it's only readable under a strong light and, second, it only comes in cartridges so a little cost prohibitive for experimenting - a 50ml bottle would be great for that. I'm thinking adding just a bit of Ambre de Bremaine could yield interesting results.

 

In stead, I just ordered the Diamine to play around with.

Chromatic, thank you for sharing!

Sheaffer King's Gold - I double posted here and in with the oranges.

I remember this so well from many years ago. Still a favorite. To me, it really had a more "golden" color than most inks called "gold" these days.

One of my new inks for the New Year: Montblanc Golden Yellow.

 

It's a really rich, bold color, and high quality ink from Austria, but unfortunately, I already have several inks of very nearly the exact same color. I was hoping for something a little more distinct. Oh well.

I hope they've sorted out the SITB problem of this ink...

[HalloweenHJB]

Really? I hadn't heard that Montblanc was one of the affected inks. Well, in any case, I always add Phenol to any new ink that comes in the house, so I should be good! We can try an CRV if you want...
