Can Anyone Recommend Some Gold Toned Inks?

[merrycitrine]

I would also like to add Rohrer & Klingner - Alt-Goldgrun to the list of goldy inks!

@Blackhorse I must try that sometime, its beautiful!

@swanjun, thats sad! I would have loved to try peacock blue, lavender too

@Sandy, you should get on the swatch making business so I can see this mix! xD

@Pira

 

Oh and after doing a bit of research, I think the color I saw resembled Iroshizuku's Ina ho or Sailor's shinkaichi gold (thanks @visvamitra!). I believe Noodler's Rome Burning and Diamine's Wagner, KWZI Mandarin (gorgeous! @inkstainedruth)

are similar! Unfortunately, Rome Burning is not very well behaved and Sailor, Diamine Wagner are hard to find. I have never heard of KWZI before and it seems hard to find? Maybe I'll order Ina ho off amazon. But I haven't used most of the colors explored here and they gave me a lot more options! Wish shoreline gold was still produced!

 

Also considering getting De Atrementis gold, but it seems kind of light for everyday writing, so probably for titles/highlighting?

Diamine Wagner shouldn't be too hard to find. You can order "refills" of Wagner on the Diamine website. Doesn't come in the square glass bottle that you see in the set (they send it the 30 ml plastic bottles), but that doesn't bother me. With shipping it comes out to $13 and change USD.

As noted in other posts, the easily attainable gold colored inks will be found within J. Herbin and Noodler's ink lines.

My favorite golden colored ink is Nagasawa Kobe #22 Shinkaichi Gold. Can't speak for Iroshizuku Ina-ho (yet), but, while not overwhelming, the green undertones in this "golden" yellow are somewhat noticeable. However, the green undertones do not detract from the over all golden hue, which is slightly muted, but I like that. Very wet ink, not much in the way of lubrication nor is it water-resistant, but the color is divine.

 

A brighter, truer golden colored ink would be Nagasawa Kobe #21 Taisanji Yellow. The color samples on-line don't seem to reflect it accurately--it's much lighter in person.

 

Kobe inks are not too difficult to come by. The following gentleman in Japan sells it for $19.99 a bottle (in eBay) with free shipping that includes tracking: cool_japan. In the USA, my orders arrive in 5 to 7 business days, but I'm not sure how customs work in Canada.

Thanks for the tip on the Wagner ink! I have looked at swatches of the Kobe Inks you suggested, before. However, they're a bit pricey for me if I include shipping (~32 CAD). I suppose they're slightly cheaper than Iroshizuku inks. I may look at Engeika to see if they carry them.

Old Gold is definitevilly a wonder.

 

Ina-Ho, is a shy gold, compared with it, but it stills is a very nice ink.
