Fountain Pen Inks perfect for Fall

Happy First day of Fall (or Spring if you're in the southern hemisphere).

I made a selection of fall colors and matched them to some pretty fountain pen inks to help set the mood. As the days grow shorter, I want cozier vibes, and these colors are all about that.

Diamine Oxblood is a classic for a reason: gorgeous red/maroon

Private Reserve Shoreline Gold is that pop of orange we get when the leaves turn

Diamine Golden Sands is a rich yellow with shimmer

Rohrer & Klinger Alt Goldgrun is a beautiful yellow green

Ferris Wheel Press Curious Woods is a deep brown

Lamy Dark Lilac (2024 version) is the best dark purple juust before it becomes black.

Are you excited for the new season? Which colors are your favorites?

... Read moreBesides matching fountain pen inks to fall colors, many fountain pen art enthusiasts love exploring unique inks like Ferris Wheel Press's Blushing Mushroom. This ink offers subtle earthy tones that work beautifully for autumn-themed writing and sketches. If you're into fountain pen art, using these warm, seasonal colors can really elevate your creative projects. Experiment with different nib sizes and paper textures to see how these inks perform, from shading to sheen effects. Additionally, caring for your fountain pen during cooler months is important—the slower ink flow in colder weather means regular cleaning helps maintain optimal performance. Incorporating inks like Private Reserve Shoreline Gold and Rohrer & Klingner Alt Goldgrun into your collection introduces pops of vibrant orange and yellow-green hues, perfect for crafting autumnal moods in your journaling or calligraphy. Happy fall writing and ink exploring!

Currently Inked Pens
What fountain pens are you using first this new year? Most of my pens are being carried over from 2024, but I did ink up my Lamy Al-Star Bronze and vintage Pilot Volex this month. It’s been a while since I’ve used my Lamy, and it’s my first time using the Pilot Volex. #fountain pen #pens
