KWZ Foggy Green. This is a beautiful evergreen ink that behaves incredibly well for such a dark ink.

One Minute Ink Review: Pilot Iroshizuku Fuyu-syogun
Pilot Iroshizuku Fuyu-syogun. A gray ink with a pronounced blue tint, Fuyu-syogun bears the English name of Old Man Winter, which is entirely appropriate. A beautiful ink with great shading. Cool and evocative rather than insistent.
An everyday ink? Like winter, probably most enjoyable for a season, not an entire year.

One Minute Ink Review: Caran d’Ache Electric Orange
Caran d’Ache Electric Orange. A gorgeous ink, with beautiful but not distracting shading. I find Electric Orange a worthy successor to Caran d’Ache Saffron, which it replaced. This is a vivacious but elegant medium orange. It’s legible even from a fine nib, but is never so bright that it sears the eyes.
An everyday ink? In October, certainly.
Ink Review: KWZ Gummiberry Ink
KWZ Gummiberry Ink. This ink color comes in both iron gall and regular versions. The iron gall version is a dark purple with very good water-resistance. The regular Gummiberry discussed here is a dye-based ink in a lighter, cheerful purple.

Ink Review: KWZ Azure #5
KWZ Azure #5. This is a sprightly blue ink that does very well on poor quality paper. I have been using this in a Lamy Al-Star with various nibs and in a J. Herbin fountain pen with a medium nib. It has worked well in both pens, which is notable, because the Safari tends to write dry and the J. Herbin has a wet flow.
