For blindingly bright, you need PR Tangerine Dream. It's the real "don't use this in broad daylight without migraine meds and mirrored shades" orange.

 

I think I might like Orange Crush, but it was darker than I was looking for.

I've never understood why PR gave this ink the name Orange Crush, because it is a darker, brownish orange color. I would have picked a name like Autumn Orange.

 

Like PR's Fiesta Red and Burgundy Mist inks, Orange Crush seems to get browner over time, once the bottle has been opened. For that reason, I prefer Noodlers Habanero for a true orange ink.

Thanks for the review. I really like this ink (one of my favorites), though it does have a little too much pumpkin and brown when flowing from certain pens (Sonnet). I bought PR's Shoreline Gold last week to get a color that avoids the brown hue and presents a nice pure orange, but I can't seem to use up the OC that I have in the Safari to test it out. That's a goal for the weekend.

Thanks for the review. Now I think I should have gotten orange crush instead of the Noodler's Majestic Orange (Singapore series) which I just got in the mail. That's really bright. I don't think I'll actually use it as a writing ink, but I want to try it as a highlighter.

Orange Crush might be an excellent ink for grading/commenting...hmmm - I'm thinking about getting it.

I've been playing with PR's Shoreline Gold. If the darkness or the brown in the Orange Crush gets to you, then give the Shoreline Gold a shot. It's a pure orange (not too bright or pastel) without any of the pumpkin/brown quality of the Orange Crush. Tear an orange in half and look at the color...that's what SG will give you.

 

Sorry if I'm hijacking the thread. I love the flexibility of having both colors.

Great review! I really like the look of the ink as it goes from a light orange at the top of your letters down to a darker orange/light red at the bottom. Very striking. And now I have added it to my list of inks to get. That Pear Tree Pens ink sampler is looking pretty tasty right now.

Nice review. I got a bottle a month or two ago, and I was surprised (and rather disappointed) with the amount of red in it. I had it in my Vista (1.5 italic) for a fill or two, and I would classify it as a red with a hint of orange, rather than the other way around, at least unless you're writing very fast or with a very dry pen. I think I'll be getting Tangerine Dream next time.

A really vibrant and fresh colour, thanks for the review.

And how can this be, because he is the Kwisatz Haderach.

Neat. I may have to add this to the list, since I really like orange inks. It looks a bit darker than Iroshizuku Yu-yake, which is my current go-to orange ink.

Like PenTieRun I own both the Orange Crush and the Shoreline Gold and really enjoy using both of them although the Shoreline Gold sometimes appears a bit light to me.

Try darkening it with a bit of brown...Noodler's Walnut maybe....and see if that makes it more attractive to you.

Just experiment with small amounts in a vial or bottle apart from your main supply in case of any adverse reactions.

 

 

ETA: The OC is a really nice color. Thanks for the review!

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
