As the title says. I’m looking for orange ink. Not too bright, not too muted, ideally tangerine 🍊 colour but a bit dirty - imagine a tangerine tree growing next to a busy road. Available in Europe.

    current orange inks I have several pens inked with orange ink so I took a moment to do a sample of them together.

      I don’t know why but I cannot open your link. On the app (I use Memmy for Lemmy) it takes me to a blank screen and on my computer the link is not a link !

    I just got Diamine Autumn Oak, and it’s a really pleasant orange with good shading and great flow. On my paper (Lamy, Rhodia and Midori MD) it’s a bit more muted in color than on Mountain of Ink swatch 🧡

    These are the oranges I’ve had experience with:

    Diamine Blaze Orange (my first & probably favourite) is likely too strong, it leans towards orangered, and Pennonia Róka Koma is almost identical to it. Diamine Pumpkin Shimmer is maybe a touch paler with a gold shimmer. Diamine Deep Dark Orange is a more subdued dark orange & is a fantastic ink. Diamine Peach Punch (Inkvent '21) is an orangey-peach. Diamine Wonderland (Inkvent '21) is a bright yellow-orange. And lastly, Diamine Flame (Inkvent '22) is a good mid orange, and it smells of matches! I haven’t had any signs of nib crud from these inks, but YMMV.

    As @[email protected] mentioned, the Mountain of Ink blog is the best place to go to get a good idea of how different inks look and perform.
