Pretty!

 

And no, you aren't alone, but I hate when inks just have numbers instead of names.

The Browns topic came up in my thoughts recently, due to looking for a golden-brown to work in a particular pen. And I saw that my images on the color threads had disappeared.

 

This is most of my brown inks. None are golden enough for me.

What would work? Any of the Diamine Guitar inks? Something not iron gall that is just a bit darker than Skrip King's Gold and with good shading would be just the thing.

+1 for KWZI Honey. It is not only gorgeous but perfectly behaved. Old Gold (also KWZI) is another very good one. It has just a touch of green. Honey leans more orangish.

Yet another Sarah.

Still behaves when heavily diluted. Currently using it 1:1

Add lightness and simplicate.

I have a KWZ ink, Grapefruit. Lovely color, good behavior. Only thing is, it smells like spoiled birthday cake.

I found an old test of Noodler's 41 Brown. Then I made a new one. Interesting comparison. The chroma's new, too.

 

Old.

Brown? Gray? What would you call these?

 

Monteverde Moonstone is one of my favorite what-is-it colors, smooth and well-mannered, with a fascinating chroma. It's also been named as a possible dupe for Montblanc Swan Plume Illusion. ... which I longed for. Acquired a sample of the MB, and tested them both.

The MB ink seems to flow well enough...but this is my only outing with it so far. It seems a bit less lubricated than MV Moonstone, which may resolve itself in a different pen.

Hi, I just loved Peikan/Edelstein Amber - but they only made the brew for one year.

 

On my screen however, your Noodler's Apache Sunset swatch looks to be a very similar tone and colour. Is this the case in reality?

 

 

No, NAS is really orangy and Edelstein Amber is more brown.

 

Callifolio Inti?

Add lightness and simplicate.

- for Golden Brown Diamine Sepia is pretty wonderful. Terrific shading. Always reminds me of fresh baked pastry!

KWZ Honey is magnificent but cooler - more green-gold I guess?

Did one of the guitar inks answer your need? They look quite tempting!

Here's some Taupes (do these get filed under brown or grey?) emerging from brownish greens:

. . . . and then some . . . . what do you call these anyway? . . . . possibly "dun"? . . . anyway, I obviously have a soft spot!

nb under certain lights a couple of these tend green! Very pleased with De Atramentis' Khaki as a sketching ink!

Yup - I was sure that would be "the one" when I ordered it! Maybe it just hasn't "found the right pen" yet?

Samples are wonderful thing! I would put the Stipula and Rikyu Cha at the head of the line. I keep trying to find a more perfect version of Burma Road Brown - but maybe I'm looking too hard? On the "moss" side I'm very happy with Kobe #45 and #49, but those don't count as brown.

I found a new Japanese word that made me happy yesterday - Kogechairo = olive brown (or, more literally, "burnt tea!") - yum!

Should we start a thread of "murky" colors?

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

      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
