i think white pens go best with brighter blue inks or even the subtleness of grey inks. perhaps Noodler's Ottoman Azure Blue? or maybe Diamine Grey?

 

I unfortunately struggle writing with grey (including pencil) because of my colour-confusion issues: they all look very, very faint to me.

 

Momiji cleans out easily and is quite pretty.

I have a sample of Momji in my ink box so I might load up the converter when the Waterman's I-Don't-Know-Which-It-Is Blue cartridge runs out

You might also like a dark green - easy to see - and green's aren't notorious stainers.

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

You wouldn't have one of your lovely written samples of Pilot Iroshizuku Shin-Ryoku, would you?

I've never tried the ink, but if someone sent me a sample, it will be on my website for the 2013 Fade Olympics.

When I was in high school, my white plastic Waterman was filled with red ink. Just regular red cartridges, that said. Nothing too fancy, but the contrast was cool.

 

 

 

note: I though I was the only person concerned with matching in some way the pen body color with ink! :lol:

I think a fair few of us at least try to match them, to be honest! It never occurred to me when I only had one pen, but as soon as I got the second, they each took an ink that matched their barrels. Made it easier.

More of us match than you might think.

 

BTW, I love your avatar.

      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
