OH WOW @Frank C - check it out.

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

Create a Ghostly Avatar and I'll send you a letter. Check out some Ink comparisons: The Great PPS Comparison 

Don't know where to start?  Look at the Inky Topics O'day.  Then, see inks sorted by color: Blue Purple Brown Red Green Dark Green Orange Black Pinks Yellows Blue-Blacks Grey/Gray UVInks Turquoise/Teal MURKY

@roshpens I have heard that you are a lover of orange inks.  Do you have any images to share?

@roshpens -- Is the second photo you posted (the one with the ink color alternating between yellow and brown) Autumn Oak?  

I don't normally like orange inks, but that one has intrigued me....

Indeed it is Autumn oak. Glad I got just a small bottle. It is the most dry ink I have ever tried, struggles to flow. But when it does you get such magic.

Lamy 755 I got on Amazon for €80 instead of 125. However M was €40 more expensive than B, EF&F.

B is fat, as fat as my MB Virginia Woolf, B=BB.

It is a very soft writing nib.
