I tried to create an ink wheel. It is not 100% perfect but it at least gives an idea about where each of my inks fall on the color wheel. The original file is in powerpoint format and 10MB. So, posted screencaptures as png files. First picture is the whole wheel. The rest are closeups...the color samples are obtained with a dip pen and the paper is daler rowney sketch paper (100g/m2). You can find more detail on how I obtained the samples with dip pen on my other post "color samples"....let me know what you think and more importantly enjoy... :)

Excellent idea! Thanks!! It's not only the colours themselves but also "where" they can be considered to exist and/or be located or placed.

yes lapis. actually that was how it started. I was trying to figure out how to sort my colors, especially blues and reds. some blues include green tones, black tones, red tones. I could not list them in a one dimensional list. But his two dimensional chart helped a lot. of course the placement of colors on the chart is my estimation since I don't know the exact color combinations in each ink...

Thanks, this looks like it took a lot of effort! If I may ask, why do you have so many colors? Are you an artist?

@ eclectic collector,

I think you asked the best question...the reason why I have collected so many colors is such a crucial and widespread phenomenon that it shows up in almost every aspect of human life...that is greed and obsession. The same feeling drives the rich to hoard so much money that they won't even be able to spend, or to collect multi-million dollar cars, houses that they won't be able to utilize, etc. This is the disease of 21st century, that fuels the growth of capitalism, "pushing" people gently to spend more and more through all sorts of advertisement (mainstream, digital, outdoor, subliminal, etc.). It is a disease, and only the educated and mature spirits are immune to this...This was the real reason.

 

Another reason for me was (maybe just a lame excuse), I enjoy using different colors for calligraphy, cursive writing, drawing and daily writing. So, given that there are 7-8 major color sets (blacks, blues, cyans, greens, pinks, reds, oranges, etc.), even if you have 3-4 inks from each color set, you will end up with ~30 inks. Then, consider the different brands out there, inks with different shading and sheen qualities, I think it is not so unusual to have ~50 inks. Since I have 102 colors now, the other 52 is totally a result of greed & obsession I guess.

Wow - quite the thorough examination of color and other things. Insightful.

Breathe. Take one step at a time. Don't sweat the small stuff. You're not getting older, you are only moving through time. Be calm and positive.

As a suggestion, the hex color code of an ink color can also be used, organized from one end of the spectrum to the other linearly, although the wheel is a more visual approach.

In a world where there are no eyes the sun would not be light, and in a world where there were no soft skins rocks would not be hard, nor in a world where there were no muscles would they be heavy. Existence is relationship and you're smack in the middle of it.

      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
