Out Comes The Orange Ink...

[HalloweenHJB]

 

Hi Halloween,

 

It is a trick of the light, which was wonderfully orange, and totally suitable.

 

The Autumn Oak is a tad darker / browner than the Inferno Orange.

 

Inferno is of course one of the Shimmer inks, but seen front on, it's a nice bright orange without the sparkles. Also, the Night Sky and Red Lustre are Shimmer inks.

 

I would have tried for some sort of comparison for you, but the day has been VERY gloomy.

Understood. Thanks for the response!

Speaking of orange inks, how does Sailor Kin-Mokusei compare to Diamine Autumn Oak? I find Autumn Oak much too light, but the color is nice. Diamine Pumpkin works much better, but I'm not sure about the color

 

Could anyone give a writing sample with these two (Kin-Mokusei & Autumn Oak)?

A better day today, so here's a comparison.

 

 

Sadly, what my camera/computer sees, isn't quite what I see.

 

The Autumn Oak is more of an orange-brown, while the Inferno is a definite orange. Anyway...we gave it a shot.

Hi Almu:

Here is a quick "face-off" between Autumn Oak and Kin-mokusei on white Tomoe River paper:

 

 

In case you like sheen, here's the glamour shot:

 

 

Hope you enjoy the photos!

I know the feeling. I have to do a lot of color balancing after I take the photo to get the colors close to what I see. Thanks for the great samples!

WOW. Brilliant. I received a sample of the Lucky Orange, and to my eye, it seemed almost indistinguishable from Diamine Pumpkin. But I may not have given it a more thorough examination...

 

Does it look as similar to you as it did to me?

I don't have Pumpkin with me right now. My splash cards tell me they are indeed very similar.

Thank you so much, those photos are great!!

 

Looks like Kin-Mokusei is quite a bit more yellow than Autumn Oak. I'm surprised those Sailor swabs are not nearly as pale as Diamine, though! That's the only problem I have with Autumn Oak, it tends to look really pale unless I use a dip pen

If you have an app that can gray balance shoot ion an 8x10 gray card. It will do a lot for the color balance.
