So it's that time of year again. Out comes the orange ink. Who needs pumpkin spice flavoring (What about the cloves? There are no cloves!) when you can leave a permanent reminder to your welcoming of the fall. Since it has finally cooled here in my part of Southern California (highs in the low 80s) I'm in. Leaves are gonna change aannny month now.

I actually pulled my Captain's Commission broad italic back into rotation a couple of days ago with some Apache Sunset.

 

I'll take pumpkin spice while I can get it. The spice must flow!

We had a foot of snow on Monday, so "fall" is here.

 

I always like seasonal colors, but don't consciously ink up an array of pens for that purpose. This season, though, it is working out well.

 

My two oranges:

Diamine Pumpkin (of course)

Noodler's Golden Aspen

 

Also in rotation for the season:

Pilot Iroshizuku Yama Guri (dark brown)

Diamine Cocoa Shimmer (slightly reddish dark brown with shimmer)

Diamine Crimson

Private Reserve Avacado (matches the pine trees)

Sailor Shigure (purple black)

Sailor Souten (sky blue)

KWZ Honey has been inked up for me this week. The golden color reminds me of the golden yellow tree leaves we get a lot of here in Chicago.

Same here. A few pens inked with KWZ Honey, Diamine Autumn Oak, Montblanc Lucky Orange, Ancient Copper, and Apache sunset. One pen with Lamy Petrol and a stub nib for work correspondence. Probably going to take until 2018 to use them all up.

GORGEOUS still life! I am a BIG fan of Orange Indien, too.

 

For years, I was not a great admirer of orange inks, but something changed, and now they are among my all-time favorites. Currently loaded for the autumn season (—and it's dark, rainy day here in Indianapolis, with temperatures dipping down into the 50s this afternoon—) going from bright to dark:

 

1. Sailor Hachimitsu (Honey)

2. Sailor Apricot

3. J. Herbin Orange Indien

4. Monteverde Fire Opal

5. Krishna The Earth

6. KWZ Monarch

7. Blackstone (scented) Wild Orange

8. Diamine Ancient Copper

Orange is my happy color whatever the season. High today is expected to be 96 degrees, so color is my connection to autumn. The weather certainly isn't!

I've disliked almost every orange that I've tried except Lamy Orange.

Oh, yes! It's one of my top favorites. I have it in a Pelikan M800 Grand Place with STUB nib. Wonderful.

I think much the same of brown inks.

 

Brown is so wildly varied, that you may, one day, find the perfect shade that appeals to you. I've always loved red-browns (de Atramentis Cola, for example), and now I love the orange-browns (KWZ Monarch), gold-browns (Califolio Inti), and even pink-browns (Califolio Aurora). But I know that I'm not so keen on the green-browns. If you want to explore a bit, you might try sample sizes of the L'Artisan Pastellier (Califolio) inks —their browns are really lovely.

Montblanc Lucky Orange is a rather plain orange, but very well-behaved--no nib crud.

 

Robert Oster Ng Special '16 is a little darker and more subtle, with tremendous shading. I like it quite a bit for fall. On the opposite, eye-searing end of the spectrum, try Robert Oster Orange Zest.

Rationalizing pen and ink purchases since 1967.

Don't forget the Orange thread *see the link my signature.

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

OOOOOO I love retina searing inks.

      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
