If my memory is serving me well today, this ink isn’t quite as in-your-face as the swab would have you believe.
That is definitely one of the troubles with ink swabs: the color is sometimes more saturated in a swab than it will be out of a pen. Of course, there is also the trouble of different scanners, monitors, and computers. Perhaps a topic for another day, hm?
Another ink from the Pelikan Edelstein line. This time – Mandarin. A bright, cheery orange. Still not enough to dethrone my much-loved Diamine Pumpkin, but this is a fantastic color and it writes quite well.

Stipula Sepia looks like a nice dark brown ink. Of course, I don’t like brown inks (ha!). Have you tried this one? Would love to hear about it if you have!
Noodler’s makes several highlighting inks. These work wonderfully in Preppy refillable markers and highlighters. (Perhaps in other brands, too, but this is what I’ve used.)
The color of this one is definitely bright pink and doesn’t remind me much at all of peaches. That said, I like it quite a bit.

Another pretty pretty fountain pen ink from Platinum Mix-Free. I’m pretty sure I love this one. How about you?
