So, yes, I sort my ink samples by color. I have so many that there has to be a system – I’ll take pictures and show you sometime soon. 

I first look at the name of the ink and sometimes it’s obvious where the ink belongs.  Delta Brown?  Not a big decision. Frankly, Pelikan Edelstein Ruby didn’t seem like a big decision either. Ruby – Red, right? Not so much. Yikes.

When the name doesn’t make it obvious, I open the sample, have a peek, and make a best guess. Sailor Jentle Grenade belongs with the purples. Oops.

I’m really liking Private Reserve Vampire Red. Perfect name for this color, yes? Can’t wait to write with it!

Maroon from Diamine is ok – nothing special to me. It’s one of those colors that isn’t really a color. Haha.

What do you think?  Do the names of inks get you all bothered, too? Ruby – ha!
