Yellow and
Orange Fountain Pen Inks:
Galerie
Jansen Gelb (Yellow): Very light lemon yellow,
almost impossible to use in a fountain (bottled ink) pen because
it is too light but might be great for mixing
Herbin
Jaune Bouton D'or (Buttercup Yellow): True bright
yellow, darker then Jansen Yellow (bottled and cartridge)
but still pretty light, OK for highlighting with a fountain
pen
Private
Reserve Buttercup (Yellow): Similar to Herbin Yellow(bottled
ink)
Abraxas
Sonne (Sun Yellow): (bottled ink)
Delta
Yellow: (bottled ink)
Pelikan
Apricot: Very light orange with a slightly beige-yellow
hint, interesting color but to (only cartridge) light for
serious writing
Sheaffer
King's Gold: For this kind of color pretty good intensity
for writing with a fountain pen,(bottle and cartridge) orange-yellow
color, just a little bit "dirty" in comparisons
to others, which is not a bad thing, because looks less cheesier
this way
Galerie
Jansen Orange: Brightest yellow-orange I know with very
good intensity, the color used to (bottled ink) make this
ink, seems to be a concentrated"flourescin" (chemical
substance) solution because when thinned down with water,
turns into a bright yellow-green fluorescence color
Waltraud
Bethge Papiere Orange #8: Pretty similar to Omas Triratna
Orange but not as (made by Herbin, bottled ink) intense, with
a almost invisible touch of red
Omas
Triratna (Orange): Orange color with good
intensity (limited production in 1999, bottled ink)
Herbin
Orange Indien (Indian Orange): A little bit darker
and slightly more red then Omas, but (bottled and cartridge)
a little bit thinner (less intense)
Private
Reserve Tangerine Dream: True bright and intense orange
(like the fruit!)(bottled)
Pelikan
Orange: Dark orange with red-brown tones in it, suitable
(bottled, only sold with a so called "nature-pen")
for serious writing
Abraxas
Mars (Orange): Orange-red color (bottled ink)
Abraxas
Cognac (Orange): Similar to the Mars color but more intense
and maybe more (bottled ink) orange brown in it
Gray Fountain
Pen Inks:
Waltraud
Bethge Papiere Flanellgrau (Flannel-Grey): Pure
medium but dark enough for (made by Herbin, bottled ink) writing
gray with no other colors in it,kind of silver gray color
There
is another Waltraud Bethge Gray I have not tried yet!
Sheaffer
Gray: Medium gray with a slight brownish touch making
it look dirty, a little(cartridge and bottled ink) bit darker
then Waltraud Bethge gray
Pelikan
Silbergrau (Silver-gray): Not silver-grey at all,
dirty dark gray with just a (cartridge only, out of production)
hint of dark-brown
Omas
"Omas" Gray: Medium to dark gray with just a
touch of purple, looks pretty "clear"(bottled ink)
and not dirty at all, in my opinion a real nice color for
serious every day writing, because it does not produce such
a strong contrast to the white paper and does not look faded
like some blacks do, but has a bad ink flow because the ink
is pretty thick
Herbin
Cloud-gray: have not tried it yet!!! (cartridge)
Abraxas
Lichtgrau (light-grey): Medium gray with a purple
hint (bottled ink)
Abraxas
Anthrazit (Anthracite-gray): Very dark charcoal
gray color (bottled ink)
Lamy
Blauschwarz (Blue-Black): Can be considered gray,
with a slight touch of green-blue
(cartridge and bottled ink) when dried, medium to dark grey-blue
Pelikan
Blauschwarz (Blue-Black): Can be considered gray,
too, but is slightly more blue and (cartridge and bottled
ink) darker then Lamy Blue-Black goes towards Montblanc blue-black,
color gets darker and less blue when drying.(I have a forty
year old bottle where the color turned into a lighter greenish
gray, very interesting color!!!)
Montblanc
Blauschwarz (Blue-Black): Best blue-black (if you
want the typical blue-black color (cartridge and bottled ink)
and not a dark blue!), darker and more intense then Pelikan
blue-black, just a touch more blue then Pelikan as well, darkens
when drying
Sheaffer
Blue-Black: Dark blue-grey color, could be considered
blue as well but (cartridge and bottled ink) definitely heads
towards gray, has more blue the Pelikan blue-black
