My Favorite Ink Colors

Everyone will find their favorite colors and ink brands and it comes from trying as many as you can. I have found that I prefer darker colors most of the time and I also like the richer, more saturated inks. I then started looking at my inked pens and the most used inks in my collection and decided to give you the list.

Black:

1. Noodler's Heart of Darkness
2. Noodler's Bad Black Moccasin
3. Pilot Iroshizuku Take-Sumi

Blue:

1. Pilot Iroshizuku Asa-Gao
2. Blackstone Sydney Harbor Blue
3. Private Reserve Black Magic Blue

Red:

1. Diamine Red Dragon
2. Diamine Oxblood
3. Pelikan Edelstein Garnet

Green:

1. Private Reserve Ebony Green
2. Pelikan Edelstein Aventurine
3. Blackstone Daintree Green

Orange:

1. Noodler's Apache Sunset
2. Noodler's Cayenne
3. Noodler's Habanero

Brown:

1. Faber Castell Hazelnut Brown
2. Pilot Iroshizuku Yama-Guri
3. Noodler's Kiowa Pecan

Purple:

1. Diamine Imperial Purple
2. Private Reserve Ebony Purple
3. Noodler's North African Violet

Yellow:

Well, yellow is so hard to read and I do not own any yellow inks

As you can tell, I really like Noodler's Ink and there is a reason for that. Nathan Tardif makes a lot of very interesting inks and I love the amount of permanence that many of his inks have. I also really like his viewpoints and how he wants to provide the most value for my dollar. I get the same feel from Private Reserve but these inks are just a joy to use.

Well, there they are. My favorite ink colors at this time. It may change as I continue to amass more and more ink to the dismay of my wife.
