I like colorful inks in black pens. My favorite combo to date is Noodler's Apache Sunset in a black Pilot Custom 74. Here is an older pic for some brownie points. Please see #5 associated with the right most vertical pen.

My ink deployment in black pens at the momnet is:-

  • M1000 inked with MB Midnight

Right now my stand outs in Black FPs' are the two MB blues, Royal and Midnight, with the Irish Green not far behind.

hm...MB Midnight looks fantastic...and I want to love it... but I am just afraid of the iron gall content.

I love how Yama Guri comes out of my Waterman Le Man 100, and Lie de Thé has a permanent home in my Pelikan M400... Both black with gold trim. My Waterman Lauréat is stuck with a black Quink only to see if it stops gushing every time I uncap it, like it does with Vert Empire. I'm waiting for Ama Iro (light blue) to arrive but I can't imagine using it with any of these pens...

In my red Ferrari pen there is Akkerman China Town Red and in my black MB146 there is Visconti Black.

Kind regards,

I may try Diamine Eclipse in the future...dark black with a tinge of purple might look pretty cool!

my black Waterman Phileas (M) currently has Akkerman Voorhout Violet in it. Had Shocking Blue in it for a while and the Violet in my Al Star with 1.1 nib, but like the Shocking Blue in it better.....

Nice! Looks very striking.

My current favorite ink for my MB 146 is a custom mix of Yama-budo and Ku-jaku that looks a lot like KTC, only with much better flow:

Err....don't exactly have a picture of the pen, but, here's a link to a Google Image. Does that count? XP

EDIT: Looks like the OP has found her combo. Nice to see it's purple. They go so well with black pens, IMHO. =)

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
