Not sure if these are exactly brown colors, but I thought I'd put them here. A Tekker ink, "IUPUI Crimson" and Sailor-Kingdom Note Mandarin Duck:

I love it.

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

L'Artisan Pastellier (Callifolio line) has really lovely browns. They are not over saturated, but handsome:

The fun Japanese erasers in the shape of fruit are just for decoration... ;)

HalloweenHJB - you have really cool handwriting!

Breathe. Take one step at a time. Don't sweat the small stuff. You're not getting older, you are only moving through time. Be calm and positive.

Since Winter has made a return trip to the Midwest just days before the Equinox, I feel the need for warmer colors. A few new browns to add to my palette:

 

The lovely rich brown of Bungubox Kabayaki of the Hamanako Eel:

 

fpn_1489608153__2017-03-15_140610.jpg

 

The very warm and handsome Akkerman Frans Hals Oud Bruin:

 

fpn_1489608355__2017-03-15_140600.jpg

 

And finally, a color that I had greater hopes for, de Atramentis' Matthias Claudius ("umber" color):

 

fpn_1489608420__2017-03-15_140547.jpg

 

This last one doesn't quite appeal to me —in the same way as Ina-ho doesn't work for me. There's something in the tan-brown color that's a little too .... yellow-green? Is that it? Hmmmm.

As a newbie who is curious about brown inks, I've really enjoyed and have enlightened about them on this thread, and many thanks to the contributing members/artists. Can anyone comment on Graf Von Fabre Castell Hazelnut Brown, Pelikan Edelstein Smoky Topaz, JHerbin Cafe des Iles? Thank you.

Goodness! You HAVE been busy! So much color, and I'm stuck grading end-of-semester papers and exams. :( And since most of these things are printed on super-cheap copy paper, I have to use my finest nibs and driest inks. Makes me a bit cranky... ;)

      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
