Great lineup, I loved this even more since I’m not usually going for the greys. I think you just have to do another swatching video with the rest of your greys! It was a reminder also to rush to get that celadon cat into a pen asap! Have a great weekend! 💗🖋🌸

I'm so glad you liked it! And yes, definitely ink up with Celadon Cat. It really is a great shade. I was wondering if it would be too light at first, but as soon as I popped it into a stub, it was magic. Thank you for watching!

This is one of my favorite color categories, although I have less tolerance for the pale, unsaturated colors than you do. I want to love them, but I just can't stand to write with them. You have a few of my favorites here and others I would like to try. As for the very dry inks, I"m sure you already know about the White Lightning additive from Vanness. Just a tiny bit improves ink flow and one bottle should last many, many years. White Lightning has saved some inks for me, including Kyo-no-Oto Hisoku -- one of my favorite inks of all time, but so, so dry. If you ever out together an order for Pure Pens in Wales, check out their Llanberis Slate. It's a lovely medium grey with a hint of lavender. Gorgeous!

Thanks so much for watching and for the Llanberis Slate recommendation. That is a wicked lovely color!😍 I do have a bottle of White Lightning, but the thing is, I've had enough mediocre results (user error, not the product) that I just prefer to try and find the right nib/ink connection for my more finicky colors. I try to look at it as a fun puzzle to solve, I guess. 😅

Wow these are delicious! I'm also a fan of the Herbin Vert de Gris, it's so easy to use. And Petrichor, I thought I was crazy for a while because I did not understand wet/dry inks and just could not make that one work. Of the ones I haven't tried, I'm intrigued by Pondweed. Great video!

My favorite muted blue is Diamine Starlit Sea. It has shimmer in it, but if I don’t want the shimmer, I just don’t shake the bottle. It’s a gorgeous gray blue with a touch of green, so pretty. I’m afraid to try Ferris Wheel Press inks - I’ll know if I do I will wind up wanting them all. Same with the Birmingham Pen Co.

Thank you so much for watching. I love Starlit Sea! I know I don't mention it on the channel much, but it really is a lovely color. Mine leans a little more dark blue than blue-grey, but it is still wicked lovely. I'm on a slippery slope with Birmingham inks. I adored my first order, so of course I had to go and place another as soon as I got a good feel for the first batch. 😅 The company makes amazing shades. 😍😍😍

I LOVED this - grey is a real favourite ink of mine. Almost every ink you showed is near the top of my wish list. I have a bottle of Celadon Cat 🖤💚& Petrichor. Other grey inks I own & love are Diamine Earl Grey & Silver Fox, FWP April Showers, Colorverse Matter & a few more. Would you consider a part 2 with your other greys?? 😁

Diamine's Earl Grey has been a favorite for years! Beautiful, beautiful colo, and I really like Silver Fox, as well. They made my top 30 list, but ended up in the batch that I had to cull just so I could fit the swatches (and clearly, not all that well) on the spread. 😅 I'll need to check out April Showers. I've seen swatches and it looks lovely. And as I love grey inks, I'm always game to put together another swatching video of the others I have in my collection. Thank you for watching!!😍😍😍

Great video! I've been waiting to see this video since seeing your pics on IG. Never enough gray inks to try! Team all the gray inks here! Thank you for posting. I just received a 30 ml bottle of Celedon Cat this week after swatching a 4 ml sample last week, and love it in my Kaweco M nib so far, I think for now that pen will be dedicated to that ink. It shades so well with a M nib. I also received a few other inks you've tested on your channel and was sad to see my Vinta Mermaid Green Sirena was rather dry in my Pilot Prera CM nib... I will try to use some White Lightning (I only use it in sample vials; sometimes I think the White Lightning changes the color values of the inks) to get it to flow a bit more so I can hopefully see the color variations that I had in my swatches... I still wish my BPC Molten Tin had a red/purple shade like yours... mine has been more gray with a blue/purple (not so much red or pink) undertones (yeah, I know I said this before LOL)... I think I'm gonna have to try the Troublemaker Petrichor if I can find it. That one needs to be on my list... I also think I will be buying a bottle of Troublemaker Kelp Tea next (from your previous videos); I just received a 4ml sample of it yesterday, and love the color. Maybe I'll put it in my Pilot VP F nib or my Glo Green TWSBI EF nib (with Sailor Shikiori Tokiwa-mastu) first just to see what it acts like... I have Amamoyoi in my VP F has been beautiful, but I want to try another muted green in that pen. I also need to see if I can find sample of FWP Adventurine it's so pretty, I need to have that one too... So many pretty inks out there to sample on my list just gets longer and longer LOL! I just recieved 14 samples yesterday (so much fun playing with FP inks) and 3 full bottles (Vinta Isabela, & Sirena, and Diamine Celadon Cat) and I'm waiting on 1 more bottle (J Herbin Rouille D'Ancre) I bought with my Kaweco Piston Filler preorder... All I know is I'mma need more pens for all these beautiful colors, it's so hard to choose LOL! Again, thank you for posting this video. I love your channel, and it is one of the first channels I go back to and rewatch... It has been so helpful for my expanding ink choices. I like seeing your ink swatching videos. I think your videos have great explanations of the color values, and hues, they are my first videos to view when I'm in the market to try new inks... Can't wait to see what you post next and have a great day!

It sounds like you're going to have so much fun with all your new samples! Please let me know if there are any shades I should put on my own ink wish list!! And just an FYI - I think I've mentioned this before, but Troublemaker inks can be very, very dry. You might end up needing to add a little white lightning in really fine or dry writing nibs. I just don't want you to be surprised when they land. Anyway, thank you so much for tuning in!! 😍😍😍

😅I have quite a few color wash pages in there, so it's a little crinklier than usual, I think. It's my own fault. Writing on it when I'm not trying to stay in focus is totally no problem, but I didn't think about how it would affect my camera until I was reviewing that first clip. Not a great plan.

Great presentation. just some feedback - i note some presenters use capital letters for naming the inks - From my time presenting lectures and displaying slides in an auditorium: all capital words makes it more difficult to read as the letters all appear the same height e.g. which is easier to read? GRIS or Gris, or gris? To take another example IROSHIZUKU or Iroshizuku ( in both examples you would need to reduce the letters to the size seen on video to see the difference better) Best Wishes and please keep up your excellent presentations.
