Caramel is a medium caramel brown.

In large swabs on Tomoe River paper the ink has some gorgeous shading.

Longer writing:

I used a Pelikan M400 White Tortoise with a medium nib on a Taroko Enigma notebook. The ink had an average (but slightly thin/watery) flow.

Overall, I like this ink. It’s well behaved, a great fall golden brown and affordable too!
