Beautiful presentation, handwriting and quote :)

I love that you've written the text in green and not in pink as one would be tempted....

I have been tempted by Umber for sometime and haven't yet succumbed yet :lol:

Great comparison. I love the contrast. So, did you and Kelli at mountainofinks plan out to do Diamine Green Umber on the same day? I don't believe in coincidences.

Hmmm. I'm maybe going to have to take a closer look at Umber.

Dagnabbit! Why, oh why, am I now hearkening back to my freshman Color and Design 1 class (lots of Josef Albers color theory) and the "ugly color" problem.... :wallbash:

I like the combination.

 

 

But excuse my non-native speaker question. What is umber? Couldn't find the connection to the ink. :unsure:

Umber is one of my favorite green inks. The others being Vert empire, MB Kipling, and the the much underrated Pelikan Olivine.

 

I don't use pink, but i love the contrast and the writing.

I never did understand why D. called it "Umber". Umber can have several meanings but basically (no pun), it characterizes an earth pigment which contains iron and manganese oxides. So far so good. But D's ink looks more like a fern to me and that's why I use it often. In any case thanks for this nice comparison. I'm not really into pinks but D's Umber is all the more reason to get L's V. Pink.

Thank you, fellow ink characters. It is indeed weird that Kelli at mountainofinks and I chose to highlight an obscure ink on the same day. She has been doing her usual wonderful, comprehensive job on green inks recently. Some more Diamine umber:

Have been a fan of Diamine Umber for years. Never considered Lamy's Vibrant Pink until now.

 

Thank you for broadening my horizon.

Fool me once, shame on you.

Fool me twice; damn

There goes that fox again.

      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
