M101N Tortise Shell Red-What Ink Will You Use In It?

[FPFan]

When these are finally released and you get yours delivered . . . What ink are you planning to use with it. Even if you aren't purchasing the pen, what color would you match with it? I'm hoping for a chance to have one, but just can't figure out what ink would be the coolest with it.

 

Let's hear what you think!

My first choice would be Pelikan Edelstein Garnet, but I've got that in an M600 red stripe .....

 

So either have to get those replies off to my snailies and empty that pen, have another look through my inks - or do the unthinkable and have two pens filled with the same ink.

Diamine Oxblood!!!!!!

Diamine Ancient Copper?

[georgeb]

Perhaps Montblanc Leonardo Da Vinci.

Non red ink if it's got an ink window. Purple is a no no too, for ink windows....unless you use the ink quickly and clean it out well.

Take half a load of ink, so you can clean it out sooner.

I would use Pelikan Edelstein ink in amber.

A lot of good suggestions, thank-you very much.

 

Personally, I'm debating the old Waterman Encre Rouge (red) I still have just less than 1/2 a bottle of, or Noodler's Nikita. Since I have had the Waterman for so long, it has become very saturated as I typically only use it at Christmas time.

 

Keep the ideas coming!

reds:

• Sheaffer Skrip red (I understand that the Sheaffer red does not stain)
• Waterman red
• Diamine Red Dragon

orange:

• Diamine Orange
• Noodlers Apache Sunset
• PR Orange Crush

disclaimer, I have only used the orange inks with a dip pen. I have read about deposits/crud forming on the nib from the ink particles.

I was thinking Edelstein Mandarin. But I was thinking about Waterman Green or Edelstein Aventurine.

I'm personally thinking of using Iroshizuku momiji.

iroshizuku yama budo

Initially Burgundy Rose from the Diamine flower set, which looks an almost perfect match to me. When I get bored with that, probably blue blacks with Oxblood on high days and holidays.

Well I finally got a red tortie yesterday, and in the meantime I'd got some Organics Studio's F. Scott Fitzgerald, and it's a rather nice match!
