Well, I did end up changing my mind. So my pick for Week #4 is Diamine Passion Red.

Pen is a Parker Vector with what was advertised as a B nib, and seems to actually be reground (possibly a DIY job by the seller) as a stub). Paper is from a nice pad given out as swag at last fall's Pelikan Hub here in Pittsburgh. I wish I knew who made it for them so I could see about getting more.... It's very nice for writing on (not as slick as something like Tomoe River, but still smooth and also a little heavier weight).

ETA: The scan may have needed to be tweaked a bit -- the ink is, sadly, not quite as saturated as it appears (at least on my laptop screen): it's a bit more pinkish-orange in real life.

Forgot to include another example of the ink in my previous post: this one is my attempt for this week in the QotW -2017 thread. Same pen and paper as the last post.

One of my favorite inks. I managed to get a couple of bottles.

Like a few others here I chose Rouge Hematite. Eventually, my photos will improve... And one day they may all be the right way up! (baby Steps)

I consider Rouge hématite as the most beautiful red. It could have been the perfect red for me if it weren't for the smearing and the staining.

Rhodia Ice + Cross Century II, medium nib (skips a bit on Rhodia, too smooth, hence the ugly letters).

This is my favorite red & I intend to never run out of it.

This is my favorite red & I intend to never run out of it.

I have only one bottle... But I keep quite a few pens in my regular rotation, so I hope I won't use it up too quickly. I am happy that you like it

My scanner doesn't pick up reds correctly. They always come out less bright, and with a blue tinge, than in reality.

 

Not only do I not know a thing about the Lunar New Year in real life, it's been so long since I played World of Warcraft that I hardly know anything about the Lunar Festival in game anymore.
