fountain pen ink and its color...
i have been writing with fountain pens since highschool. for the last two decades, my preferred color is turquoise, and for the last year or two, the preferred ink is montblanc turquoise. as of tonight, i also know its color values (lightness 65.44, chroma 49.71, hue 225.97) and can compare it against most other turquoise inks i may want to use. the site is robin myers imaging and under the projects section, there is a comperative list of 269 fountain pen inks and their associated color information. [includes graphs sorted on lightness, chroma and hue values. also under his references, a collection of books on fountain pens].
wonderful stuff. thanks robin.
