As another reviewer noted, this ink goes on reddish and dries a lighter orangish-brown, encompassing a range of autumn leaf colors. Seems to be more red with finer nibs and more on... view morethe orange side with broader nibs. Nice shading. Somewhat similar to Monteverde Fire Opal but not as lubricated. view less
The ink is a bit lighter than I thought it would be but that works well for me. I think is such a great color for fall and complements a fall palette of colors so well. Diamine ink... view moreis always a win for me - behaves well and looks amazing doing it. view less
The picture of this sample is pretty accurate. It goes down reddish orange and dries a lighter orange. But this ink is kind of crazy. In sunlight its orange-yellow. In bright room... view morelighting its almost red. In average light, the sample colors seen above, in low light, dark orange and brown. I love writing with it, it dries fast, no matter how wet the pen. It does shade, but i like it more for its readability when transcribing my poems. If you like writing in cafe's, this is a wonderful ink. Very autumny. view less
Better for drawing or broad nibs Love the color in splotches but using it in my stub nib the beautiful color doesn’t come thru for me just using it for stand writing. Need to find a use for it!
