On the Fountain Pens Australia discord we’ve been playing “watch the swatch” before I label them as well, which is both hilarious and fun 😁

Diamine Mach Picchu is an acid green chartreuse. A lovely ink to mix for plant foliage. Not so much a writer for me.

Van Dieman’s April 2024 LE is a yellow-brown ink that’s definitely not a me ink for writing. Great colour for
Australian bush art though!

Day 1 30 Inks in 30 Days

Lamy Turmaline is a lovely bright teal with mild red sheen. It writes beautifully, but doesn’t give a lot of variance in shading.

Yun Jingtang Tianshui Bi is a rich olive green that looks like it would shade well in writing. It has a dark red copper sheen and sheens heavily on good paper.

Day 9 30 Inks in 30 Days

Ink Institute Wenhu Line is a lovely warm brown ink. In dark applications it has a luscious chocolate feel. It does get some very mild sheen, but I don’t think this would show in writing.

Diamine November Rain is one of the German exclusives everyone when nuts for a fee years ago. I was lucky enough to get a sample from a friend. It’s a lovely deep emerald green with strong red sheen.

Pilot Iroshizuku Ina Ho is a swampy yellowish green that shades to darker browns. This is absolutely not “me colour” for writing, however, it’s definitely a great colour for painting Australian plants!

Day 25 30 Inks in 30 Days

Kitty Ink Pot A Certain Forest is a lovely chromoshading ink that goes from green-grey to purple. In writing, I found I got much more of a straight green-grey, but nib and paper may make a difference.
