  Milligram’s got a sale on from now until Monday, selling Pilot Iroshizuku ink for about half what it normally costs. $20 bucks a bottle for each of those.

  The Iroshizuku range is meant for fountain pens, so I don’t know exactly how it would go for brush calligraphy (which I know is your thing) or dip pen use, but it’s very nice fountain pen ink with a heap of interesting colour options. I normally can’t afford to splurge on it as much as I’d like to

  I’ve picked a bright peacock-ish blue and a “winter persimmon” red-toned orange. My daily driver is a very dark green from another brand, so I feel like the three contrast well

    Those are good colours, the red orange especially, like burnt sienna. 🙂

    Chinese black ink is a very very dark green, you can only tell when it is dry, it has a slight green reflectance.
