Chicago Pen Show 2017

And I stepped into the black hole of ink this time - I came home with a small bottle of Diamine Rustic Brown.

Are there new Iroshizuku inks out there? Sorry don't mean to hijack the thread. This would have been a pen show that is relatively close. I have not been to a pen show yet. However, I'm budgeting to go to a typewriter event later this year which is actually further away. Although I live in IL, there aren't any toll roads around here yet.

I got Moonlight of Higashiyama. I find most brown inks to be pretty dull, so when I find an interesting brown I notice it. Plus, it's perfect fit for the Pelikan Sahara!

 

Funny, when I looked at the written sample of that on the Vanness website it doesn't look at all brown on my screen, but more of a dark reddish orange.

What color blue is that?

Sort of a rusty one...

Take two Scotches and an Advil then carefully put the bottle somewhere safe. In the morning you will forget about it.

I find it to be more like KWZ Honey with a touch of orange, and not nearly as orange as it appears online.

If a monitor isn't properly calibrated, it will show inaccurate colors.

 

This is why brown may look reddish orange.
