Rohrer & Klingner Magenta

I like this one. It's pretty. It's not as retina-searing as Solferino.

Shading is not bad. Lack of water-resistance is as expected. Dries quite fast.

I love that too. I haven't decided which one I like more.

Very nice. But what fun is it without retina searing?

 

They just repainted our offices, and I now have a burnt orange wall about a foot to the left of my desk. I know this is causing me some kind of rods and cones trauma. I had the McCullough Effect done on me during voluntary psychology lab testing for a university course.

Looks really nice, but will stay with Solferino.

After using Solferino in a Parallel 6mm nib, I have to admit that I like Solferino more! It pops out of the paper!

Magenta is not one of my colors, but I love the shading on this one. I also like your handwriting.

One of my favorite purples(1) along with Diamine Imperial. Filled my Bordeaux marbled Centennial Duofold with it and never switched inks in that pen ever since.

(1) OK OK I get it. It's not a "purple". But I'm just a simple guy, so I think of it as such. I also don't understand the difference between "Peach" and pink

I can never tell apart purple, violet and magenta...

The color wheel is your friend. Simply, magenta is the reddest (pinkest) purple; violet is the bluest.
