Members ask for favorite MURKY inks. Now, we all know, that Amber is really into Retina Searing colors, so I've reached out and asked some of the lovers of Murky inks to add their swatches here. This thread is not for comparisons or detailed reviews. Merely for you to show us some of your samples.

Also, some murky are actually orange, red, green or brown so let's not get to crazy with eliminating colors. If it looks Murky to you, put it here.

BTW, Blue was here.
Brown was there.
Red was in the woods.
Did you ask about violet (or was it vioLeNt) purples?
Green was leafing us.
Orange is bouncing around.
Black is back.
Here be Pink.
Yellow is Spot On.
Jim says we must share our Black-n-Blues or was it Blue-Blacks?

and now Make It Murky

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

I genuinely thought I had more. Oh well. This should get things started. Have fun.

*The KWZ ink is Pea Green - not sure if it's still made. The nearest thing I've found to it is Troublemaker Kelp Tea (no swatch as yet)

No fair, Graphophile. I bet you already have your little cards made up and just leaf through them to show us your wares!

I can guess how to make cards; what I don't know how to do is take the beautiful clear pictures you are showing...are they scanned? And looks like a fancy border of some sort. Do tell.

The only inks I have that come close to murky are a couple of purples and Vert Empire...I'll post as soon as I have time.

Almost all of my inks are "murky" by choice -- will be fun to watch this thread.

“I admit it, I'm surprised that fountain pens are a hobby. ... it's a bit like stumbling into a fork convention - when you've used a fork all your life.”

Yep. All have been posted her on FPN somewhere at some time.

The cards are all Mnemosyne Word Cards sadly no longer made. Col o ring make something similar now but with a different paper.

Simply shot with a phone camera by a window somewhere and colour corrected to my eye before posting.

Vert Empire would qualify as murky. It's been on and off the list here so many times. Looking forward to seeing yours. :)

 

 

A quick shot of what I have right under my eyes:

 

Diamine Wagner. Lovely colour, great shading, but so dry... (using a wettissimo Pelikan M1000 here).

Hmm. Not murky enough by my standards. :P

My only murky inks. I generally prefer bright, clear colors. But I absolutely love Swan Illusion. While some may thing that Taccia Ebi and Taccia Uguisi aren't necessarily murky, the contrasting sheen to the original color really tones the color down and makes it murky.

I'm so happy for this post. Lurking through topic, I kind of fell in love with Salamander... only to discover in this post it's very similar to Rikyu-Cha (which I have and love). At least: the text is, the leafs less. So thanks for preventing near duplication! (and saving me some € once the Rikyu-Cha is empty)

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
