I don't like how the card for CB came out. The fish here is a better demonstration.

This was supposed to be a narwhal, but he forgot his horn at home. Some days you just forget things like that.

Awesome additions.

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

I have not paid attention to this before but now that I need to know the difference between Diamine Macassar and Chocolate Brown, it is v good to see them placed side by side, or rather up-down.

 

thank you.

Robert Oster Dark Chocolate

 

This ink really does look like dark chocolate. On rare occasions, it also looks like a dusky purple which is what I think it its base color. (On my screen, this scan is more purplish than in real life).

Oohh I just discovered this topic and read through the 20 pages drooling.

I love browns (and sepia and greys and murky greens stop).

 

Here's a post I wrote on the French forum www.stylo-plume.org when comparing 5 Japanese pens and a German one, with the same papers and ink, the latter being Iroshizuku tsukushi. I don't recall having seen it in this topic.

Here's the link to the original post for the numerous fluent readers of French gobbledygook around here :happyberet: Well mainly I compare the nibs' respective merits, in all subjectivity of course.

"Papier pelure" (2nd and 4th pages) can be translated, I think, into onion skin paper (you know the stuff we made carbon copies from with typewriters in the last century). Correct me if I'm wrong. To me it is comparable to Tomoe River paper though it is thinner yet, it offers a lovely writing experience and makes the nibs "sing" a little. I made stocks of it in my work as an archivist, sorting dusty records and all that, though, alas, these stocks are now depleting ...

I wouldn't say I "like" it - but I have had De Atramentis' York Brown in continual use since I first stumbled on it (their Umber too!). Haven't encountered anything else like it - a cool brown (not quite greenish, but heading there) that takes me back to the 1970s! Great in combination with greens - on big floral curtains!

Oh . . . . and I finally picked up "Grain in the Beard"!

fpn_1550517637__grain_in_the_beard.jpg

https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/topic/343889-grain-in-the-beard/

 

In other news . . . . love my Macassar, Burnt Sienna, R&K Sepia, Cacao Du Bresil . . .

. . . . still puzzling over Doyou (or Doyoun't?), and the equally mysterious KWZ Hunter Green (there is no green on any paper I've seen, but it's like straying from the path in the forest on a moonless night - the ducks don't stand a chance, but I'm also worried for the hunter!!) . . .

. . . . and whenever Christmas rolls around, Rustic Brown is my go-to for cardage.

. . . . Oh, and I have one pen permanently dedicated to Rouille D'Ancre, which may be a "Gentleman's Pink", but appears very Brown looking if it comes up against anything else of the pink variety (Kobe #54 a little browner?).
. . . . and while I don't enjoy writing with Terre De Feu, once you apply a wash, a lovely coral peeks out, which I haven't found a match for elsewhere?

 

Thank you and goodnight!

Cool Browns were my Winter obsession - moving out of it now it's Spring but here's one more:

fpn_1556830232__cool_browns_-_winter_b2.

The (intended to be a) chestnut is Stipula Verde Muschiato, the Acorn De Atramentis' York Brown, the leaf De Atramentis' Marone (I asked Dr. Janssen about the re-naming and he sent me a new bottle of Marone that was still this GreyBrown [albeit without the green tinge?!?]), the hot drink (the always surprising!) Robert Oster Khakhi (spelling is important!) and the main image is as labelled.

I've bunched the yellows, golds, and browns together. It may be too much, but the colors are fun!

Hi, I just loved Peikan/Edelstein Amber - but they only made the brew for one year.

 

On my screen however, your Noodler's Apache Sunset swatch looks to be a very similar tone and colour. Is this the case in reality?

No, NAS is really orangy and Edelstein Amber is more brown.

Greenish browns are my preference, but here's some reddish ones:

n.b. I had to take a photo as the scanner saw something completely different!

Having spent forever in GreenishBrownland, here's some interesting Russets:

fpn_1559757066__russet_browns_-_3.jpg

Sometimes Oxblood looks purplish, but here (and in comparison to Rustic) it shows orange?!
The KWZ is quite something! Oh, the top two inks are both Diamines, I just wrote KWZ twice as I was trying to get the ink to run dry, which it eventually did by the word Red . . . . it was worth the wait!

 

p.s. That Robert Oster Dark Chocolate looks like quite something too - is it just me who has trouble with the names getting in the way of the colors with these things?

      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
    • adamselene
      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
