KWZ Grapefruit. This dark orange ink catches the eye with its strong and vivid color and lack of shading. It can look different in different pens, but generally it makes a statement on the page, and brightens up a winter day. It is perhaps best suited for fountain-pen friendly paper.

I have never eaten a grapefruit this color.

You’ll love KWZ Honey, though! It does look like honey. 🙂

I predict the trend continues until there is a line of “Prime Rib” inks that go from a pinkish-red hue all the way to a dark grey-brown (the famed “mother-in-law” color). The latter will be quite dry, of course.

I’m a vegetarian, but the mother-in-law color does describe my hair. 🙂

Texas has varieties of a dark reddish orange grapefruit. (South Texas I think) Maybe Konrad ate an imported one from there, and liked it so much he made a color after it. Doubtful, but it is possible. South Texas is where the best ones grow, really sweet too, for a grapefruit.

This review was a home run, without a doubt. I am going to have to try my Grapefruit in more pens. You clearly were getting more orange than I was. I used this ink in a medium pen, and it looked red, no orange at all. With a fine that is more like an extra fine, it was orange red. Orange red is what I wanted, so that worked out for me. I have tried Fuyu-gaki, and Infra Red too. KWZ Grapefruit (and maybe Diamine-Sunset) were the closest thing I found to Sailor-Amanita muscaria. I loved that ink, and can’t find it because it is a limited edition. (I think)

I use this ink daily since when I discovered it in 2013 🙂 🙂
