What's next? Another brown from DA? Maybe Sailor Doyou? Iroshizuku Yama-Guri? Or something unknown and exotic?24805350872_d989b8fd4d_z.jpg

Most strange to see "Maybe"'and "Doyou" in the same sentence! Buy it. Immediately. :-) :-)

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Um, is this supposed to be browns? :unsure:

 

When I asked what color Nightshade is, I got brown as an answer so I included it here too.

OK, I understand then. It's kind of hard to see what color it is on the sheet as it looks just so dark.

I think of it as a stealth black.

Pretty sure its illegal, in Japan, to put BB SPP in a dry writing pen :(

Yes, I do love those colors! My true adoration, though, is for the more orange-y and reddish browns. "AUTUMNAL" is what I'd call them.

 

Here is a selection of the L'Artisan Pastellier Callifolio "Autumnal" inks that I have currently:

Ordered by preference (visual deliciousness):

1. Aurora

2. Itzamná

3. Inti

4. Anáhuac

5. Cannelle

6. Sépia

 

 

What is the blue ink you've used?

 

Thanks.

I'm finding it a bit hard to see the brown in Nightshade as well. Perhaps if I used it next to other dark browns, it will become more apparent. Either way, I've been using Nightshade at work for some months now, which has warmed me to Noodler inks.

I believe that I used Noodler's Bay State Blue for the blue in the photo. Intense ink!

I have had it in the pen for about a month. I really like it. I find it is slow to dry, but it is pretty.

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
