If you order from Cult Pens look at their Deep Dark inks, they're made by Diamine and are exclusive to Cult Pens. The Deep Dark Blue is a really nice ink. Oxblood, Red Dragon and Ancient Copper are well worth looking at too.

My personal faves are Red Dragon, Syrah, Ancient Copper and Blue Black. I also have Pumpkin, which is quite nice, it just doesn't get a lot of use right now.

First you go look at Cybaea's amazing comparison. Clearly I need to put a link to that in a convenient place.

 

Then, choose your colors.

Twilight. On TR cream, it's sweet as could be...

Yes! I couldn't tell you how many times I've gone back to this. Incredible.

Mine are:

To pick some others than the blues and blacks:

 

Ancient Copper - best selling ink, great shading, great colour.

Red Dragon - makes every pen a lovely writer, looks great: dark enough for work use, bright enough for edits, red enough for personal notes.

Blaze Orange - makes me happy every time I use it with the colour and the amazing shading.

Havasu Turquoise - but only if you write on top-quality paper or bleed-through is uncontrolled! But that shading...oh that shading.

Thanks for the heads up guys! I'm a student so I won't need to worry about work and my teachers don't question some of the rather flamboyant inks I have used on essays in the past. Ancient copper looks gorgeous

Midnight

Damson

Eau De Nil

Oxblood

[Mikeambergris]

My four of the best:

 

Ancient Copper, there's a reason it appears in so many lists.

Salamander, the more you use it the more you love it. Still not sure exactly which colour it is!

Majestic Blue, sheen!

Huvasu Turquoise, shading!

[saskia_madding]

These are definitely me four favourites:

Asa Blue

Midnight
Red Dragon

Sherwood

 

Let us know which ones you go with!

[Mkim]

Diamine is prob. my favorite ink company

 

1. Red Dragon **Must have, there is no better red

2. Damson (perfect purple for everyday use - even in the office)

3. Midnight (when black HAS to be used...but you subtly retaliate by using a black with purplish undertone)

4. Bilberry (deep purplish blue)

 

As you might have guessed: I am a purple man

[inkstainedruth]

Denim

Eclipse

Emerald

Presidential Blue (but it's fairly dry)

Damson (but it's very dry)

 

I have some other Diamine inks but of the ones I might recommend they're either ones I haven't tried (Matador and Onyx Black) or ones I haven't made up my mind about (Merlot, Salamander).

I didn't include the Flower Collection inks, because they're a set (and fairly pricy). I haven't tried all of them, but I rather liked Aster, Carnation and Cornflower, and kinda liked Burgundy Rose.

My first order wasn't nearly enough selections, but I did get:

 

Oxblood - everyone's favorite

Syrah - up and coming fave

Onyx black - the darkest black I think

Teal - well, I just like that color

Chocolate Brown - not speaking to me yet

Evergreen - nice greyish green

Green Black - I don't know why????

Grape - my first bottle,

 

 

I am now looking for:

 

Ancient copper - the new favorite ink to get

Asa or Turquoise

Salamander

Red Dragon

a Kon-Peki look alike

a Yama-Budo look alike

and maybe Lavender

[saskia_madding]

Green-black is actually very nice. It's no Sherwood, but it's neat looking.

[gregamckinney]

Ancient Copper

Tropical Blue

Orange

Oxblood

[inkobsessed]

Another vote for Twillight. Very nice modest dark teal with a hint of blue so also to be used for formal writing. Not dry and good lubrication with a very nice schade. It makes pages very readable, even better then blue black.
