I found the petit baby pink in the 366 post, but not the kosumosu, the number seems to be missing; but I did find the kosumosu (but not the petit) in the pinks.

Assuming these scans are directly comparable, the two inks do look similar (similar hue) but the kosumosu is darker (lower saturation and luminosity) in a pretty noticeable way. From your own scans, the rose tendresse looks closer to me: it has more comparable luminosity, although it does have a more purplish hue. Of course scans are not the same thing as the real thing, so if you say the kosumosu is closer I will take your word for it. On the other hand, the kosumosu is about 3 times more expensive...

 

 

I think you will really like Rose Tendresse. Kosumusu is actually more saturated but than either of the others, but it's really hard to tell from pictures and scans.

Thanx for the very detailed reply. It is surprising what different colors people are willing to call pink (e.g. pelikan pink), so I was very pleased to discover the petit1 baby pink that is very close to what comes to my mind when I hear "pink"; that is why I am so keen to identify a similar bottled ink.

You are welcome. I hope it helps. I never thought I'd use Kosmos, but I think it's a beautiful PINK.

So... now that we solved the pink... what about the blue?

I recently inked up my blue one and I was again blown away. The color is extremely to my liking, and unlike all of my other blues (which include Lamy Blue, Pelikan 4001 Royal Blue, J. Herbin Éclat de Saphir and Pilot's own normal Blue). Has anyone come across anything that matches?

Looking for some green ink for my Petit, no preference with exact color match as long as it works with the pen and it is green. Cheap if possible. Thanks in advance.

My original green cartridge has not emptied yet, but I have some diamine greens ready for it. Diamine makes a lot of green inks and they are very cheap, especially in Europe. Since I have not tried it in the petit, though, I can't tell you if it will flow well; however, they do flow well (even a bit too well) in my borghini roller balls that have a similar wick feed.

      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
