Ornament Yellow is a medium mustard yellow with copper shimmer.

In large swabs on Tomoe River paper the ink doesn’t have much shading, but it does have plenty of shimmer.

Longer writing:

I used a Lamy Safari Mango with a medium nib on a Taroko Enigma notebook. The ink had a slightly dry flow.

Overall, it’s pretty well behaved but it is just a little drier than I prefer. The mustard yellow/copper shimmer combo doesn’t wow me so this isn’t a great ink for me.
