Monteverde Keylime Pie - comparisons and complements

Recommended Posts

Here's my second of these comparisons / contrasts thanks to @amberleadavis! :) As before, the paper is 52gsm cream Tomoe River.  Also, I left the images big so any who wish can zoom in and see color in detail.

 

Photograph (Keylime Pie is a little too muted. The other colors aren't bad):

Scan (Keylime Pie is too muted, Thornton's Brown is all wrong, Inspired Blue is a bit pale, but otherwise it's not too bad):

I thought it would be helpful to list the inks used:

  • 3Oysters I.COLOR.U Hwangto
  • Diamine Autumn Oak
  • Noodler's Shah's Rose
  • Robert Oster Green Lime
  • Rohrer & Klingner Aubergine
  • Thornton's Brown (from disposable pen)
  • Waterman Inspired Blue

 

They all seem to go pretty well, but I especially like the bright ones: Aubergine (purple & green go well together), Shah's Rose, Inspired Blue.  But the muted oranges look really good too.  The brown, not the right shade, really - even without the scan messing it up.  Green Lime is closer than I thought, its pale parts coming close to Keylime Pie.

It's funny, I ended up liking Key Lime more than I thought I would. It's a super cheerful color.

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

      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..

      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
