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?

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!
