I'm doing some cleaning in the house and I've found some unscanned pages with comparison of different colors. Here are the greens (everything written with Kaweco Classic Sport turned into eyedropper and with broad nib on Oxford optic paper):

Very impressive.

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

Vis.. I just noticed two DeAtramentis Mahatma Gandhi samples below.. one is yellowish and the other one is orange.

 

 

Maybe you meant one to be Montblanc and the other DeAtramentis??

 

 

Edit to say: Yellow one should be DeAtramantis, Orange is Montblanc

@C - yes. I had samples of both and while doing comparison I repeated De Atramentis name twice.

 

Cool... I just forgot which one was which... Had to google it up. :blush: :blush:

Wow thank you for the great comparisions.

 

I think I still love the MB Ghandi ink-I doubt I will ever get to try it though. There were several colors that were close so maybe I will try those instead.

It was quite retina searing though. :yikes:

 

There are plenty of good orange inks now.

      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
