Which Inks In Each Color Categories Do You Think Will Be The Most Fade Resistant?

[amberleadavis]

The 2013 Fade Olympics are mostly underway. The complete list of inks have not been typed, nor has a color list. Nevertheless, I thought I'd suggest that we start hypothesizing about what inks we think will do the best and perhaps the worst.

 

To make it interesting, I'll give special gifts to the best guessers.

 

The rules:

 

While an ink can be classified in more than one color category, it cannot win in more than one color category. For example, Dragon's Napalm might be considered Orange, Orange Red, Pink, Brown. DN is a known fader so it can't win in resistance, but if it could, it could only win in one category.

 

You can only use an ink that is posted in the 2013 Olympics. The only additional inks you can use are the Organics Studio inks that are being added. The OS inks have not yet been added to the posted "Test Subjects".

 

The color categories are modified from what I included in post 6 which used this color wheel:

Instead we will use the following categories

1. Black
2. Gray (or Grey)
3. Tinted Black (This is any color which has "Black" like "blue-black" or "red-black").
4. Browns and Sepias
5. Dark Blues (including excluding those named "blue-black).
6. Light Blues (Any color you could use in a highlighter).
7. Blues (All the medium and bright blues, including BSB and Midway)
8. Turquoise (Any ink named Turquoise or Blue-Green)
9. Purples and Violets (This would include Blue-Violet, Violet and Red Violet from the color wheel).
10. Red (Not Burgundy or Pink) (Red and Orange Red on the above color wheel).
11. Burgundy or Dark Reds
12. Pink
13. Orange (includes Orange and Orange Yellow from the color wheel).
14. Green (includes Green and Yellow-Green from the color wheel, or any color GeoDuc describes as muddy green).
15. Yellow
16. Other Strange and Cool Stuff (Invisible ink, highlighters or color not included above).

I will be the final decision maker, but may choose an Olympic Committee to help choose. OC members will not be eligible to "win" but will receive other accolades.

Tinted Black - specifically Blue-Black.

Well; why not?

I think it's only fair to compare Red Black to Blue Black and Purple Black, but most of all to Green Black (or was that GreenBACK?)

Some preliminary results are up, so this offer is closed.
