Raw Sienna - Diamine

[visvamitra]

Now based in Liverpool, the history of Diamine dates back to 1864 when the company was founded by T Webster and Co. in London. The business moved to Liverpool in 1925 and T Webster and Co. changed its name to Diamine in 1964.

Diamine now produces one of the largest ranges of fountain pen ink and fountain pen cartridges as well as the famous Registrar's Ink for permanent records.

Diamine offers amazing variety of colors.

Raw Sienna is medium brown. Depending on the paper / nib combo it may look strongly saturated (cream, absorbent papers) or weakly saturated (optic papers like Oxford). I like the color nad the ink is well behaved.

Thanks for posting this. I prefer darker browns, though.

Not bad. Now I want to see its sibling the Burnt Sienna.
