1100 Inks!

We have reached 1100 inks so it’s time for another favorites post! We are almost into spring so this time I decided to show my current favorite spring inks!

The rules: the inks have to have been in the first 1100 ink reviews. They have to be my current favorites in that color, meaning the ones I use the most often. My favorites change often, so these are the ones I have used the most in the last month.

Black

• Pilot Iroshizuku Take-sumi

• Sailor Jentle Black

• Platinum Carbon Black

• Sailor Nano Kiwa-guro

• Click here to see the black inks together.

Platinum Carbon Black is my current favorite black-I love how smooth and water-resistant it is.

Blue Black

• Pilot Iroshizuku Shin-kai

• Sailor Nano Sei-boku

• Sailor Nano Sou-boku

• Rohrer and Klingner Verdigris

• Click here to see the Blue-black inks together.

My favorite blue black ink changes daily, but Sou-boku is my favorite today.

Grey

• Montblanc Oyster Grey

• Diamine Silver Fox

• Pilot Iroshizuku Kiri-same

• Sailor Ink Studio 123

• Click here to see the grey inks together.

Grey inks are one of my favorite colors to play with. 123 has the most character, but can also be the hardest to read out of the four.

Brown

• Sailor Ink Studio 373

• Monteverde Moonstone

• Robert Oster Caffe Crema

• Robert Oster Melon Tea

• Click here to see the brown inks together.

373 is one of the more pastel browns I have, but it can also be hard to read back because it’s so pale. I love the character it has, but I love all four of these. Both Caffe Crema and Melon Tea make it onto most of my favorites lists.

Red

• Diamine Strauss

• Sailor Ink Studio 830

• Robert Oster Whisper Red

• Pilot Iroshizuku Momiji

• Click here to see the red inks together.

I have such a hard time finding spring reds. Robert Oster Whisper Red is my favorite one.

Pink

• J Herbin Corail des Tropiques

• Sailor Ink Studio 230

• Pen Saijiki Syurei

• Diamine Gerbera

• Robert Oster Pinky

• Pilot Iroshizuku Kosumosu

• Kobe Oji Cherry

• Papier Plume Garden District Azalea

The top row are more in-between pink and orange corals, but definitely fit in spring colors.

Orange

• Sailor Ink Studio 173

• Robert Oster Peach

• Diamine Peach Haze

• Monteverde Mango Mousse

• Papier Plume Sazerac

• Monteverde Topaz

Robert Oster Peach is one of my all-time favorite orange inks.

Yellow

• Robert Oster Honey Bee

• Robert Oster Yellow Sunset

• Vinta Sunrise Hanan

• Pilot Iroshizuku Daikokuten

• Click here to see the yellow inks together.

Sunrise Hanan is a bit pale for everyday use, but it’s fun to use in a flex nib.

Green

• Papier Plume Marina Green

• Sailor Ink Studio 167

• Sailor Ink Studio 160

• Sailor Ink Studio 162

• Robert Oster Light Green

• Monteverde Key Lime Pie

• Robert Oster Sublime

• Pilot Iroshizuku Chiku-rin

I bought some fabric to make my daughter an Easter dress yesterday, and when I picked it out all I could think was Sailor Ink Studio 160, because I apparently think in ink colors now.

Teal

• Sailor Ink Studio 264

• Diamine Soft Mint

• Kaweco Paradise Blue

• Robert Oster Marine

• Robert Oster Tranquility

Diamine Soft Mint is my all-time favorite spring teal.

• Robert Oster Grey Seas

• Troublemaker Milky Ocean

• Sailor Ink Studio 143

• Pilot Iroshizuku Ama-iro

I’m loving the shading blues for spring, particularly Milky Ocean and Haha.

Handel and Amazing Amethyst look so good together, but you can’t go wrong with any of the Pilot Iroshizuku purple inks either.
