Does anyone know of any ink/s similar to the following colours: Sailor Jentle - Apricot Maruzen Athena - Sepia I have a habit of being attracted to inks that are limited edition or very difficult to acquire in the UK. Any suggestions would be gratefully received. These would be great Autumn colours! I just saw a swatch on Instagram of Sailor Jentle Apricot and Pilot Iroshizuku Yu Yake and they were very close. Yu Yake comparison It also seems similar to Diamine Orange, which should be easier to get in the UK.

What about Kala Nostalgia Gemstone Inks? Has anyone used these? JetPens just sent me another announcement - I really need to stop reading their emails. Dangerous to my wallet.

Yu-Yake has become one of my very favorite inks. I finally caved and bought Noodler’s Apache Sunset as well. I love my oranges. My very favorite purple is Herbin’s Poussière de Lune

Oh, but you were looking for a brown. Sorry, got distracted. I like Noodler’s Walnut.

Oh, but you were looking for a brown. Sorry, got distracted. I like Noodler’s Walnut. I'm definitely making up for only using black ink in my fountain pens and just had my first big pen cleaning session. This is why having a collection of fountain pens is a must! Hee hee!

Iroshizuku “Fuyu-Gaki” (Winter Persimmon) is one of my favorites in the orange color way.
Chesterfield “Antique Orchid” is a dusty purple.
Montblanc “Antoine de St. Exupery “, a purplish, and Montblanc “Red Fox”, an orange. Both from the “Petit Prince” series.

I believe that now any Chesterfield inks have become Unobtainium...though I do have a small bottle of their Antique Orchid.
