All the orange pens in my wife and my collection. Some are close to red but they have an orange tone (not pure red).

Between us, I think we have too many pens!

Enjoy the photo.

A beautiful set of orange pens.

 

What kind of pen is the orange/black/white striated pen, fourth from the right in the bottom row (between the orange Caran d‘ Ache and the Terracotta Lamy Studio)? The pattern and color combination is attractive.

Thank you! That pen is a Monteverde Prima. I think they called this color "Halloween" but I'm not totally sure. I guess I should ink it up and use it for the Halloween season!

 

Here are a couple photos.

Very pretty. Thanks for the follow-up photo. Very Halloween-looking, or perhaps a bit Bengal Tiger…🐅

Here are my orange pens. I think I found them all. I did a last check, and found the Franklin-Christoph pen (at the bottom) which is a collaboration with The Pen Addict blog. I thought the Platinum pen with the maple leaves should count, even though it’s mostly black.

I always think I don't like orange and then I remember that Herbin Cornaline d'Egypt exists. I don't know if the Opus 88 counts as orange, though. I have Red Robin ink inside of it.

What are 5 and 6 on the top row? The mottled ones with the gold bands through the middle.

Hi @FlexySadie, they would be Watermans. A 52 and a 54.

Ah, yes, I have those two Platinum pens as well… somewhere.

Cool @A Smug Dill  I hope you locate them. It’s the perfect time for the Platinum Changing Autumn Leaves. Mine is clean and was stored, but I might put De Atramentis Autumn in it. 
 

@austinwft has the pens that would be 9 and 10 counting from the top.

Oh, I know where they are; but thanks all the same. :) The Plaisir is in one of my wife's pen cups, and the Vicoh is in its retail box in a pile of ‘new’ pens I may one day give away to friends. I did inspect and test the Vicoh, so it isn't brand new.

This thread inspired me to fill this pen. The other ink spots are Diamine Pumpkin. The Platinum pen was $192 when I bought it. It’s now $224.

It is a custom en using all Parker materials.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Create a Ghostly Avatar and I'll send you a letter. Check out some Ink comparisons: The Great PPS Comparison 

Don't know where to start?  Look at the Inky Topics O'day.  Then, see inks sorted by color: Blue Purple Brown Red Green Dark Green Orange Black Pinks Yellows Blue-Blacks Grey/Gray UVInks Turquoise/Teal MURKY

I think I could come up with that many pens for most colors except yellow. I think I have three with yellow.

@mallymal1 Oh of course they're Waterman pens! That explains why I like them. They made the prettiest pens as far as I'm concerned. Your collection is an absolute dream.
