Since I don´t have an fp yet I don´t have any favorite, but I really like Mont Blanc Racing Green, and I also think that red inks are very underrated!

[James]

Oy! My favorite color changes with the seasons. Right now, I'm big on green... I just came off of grey during winter, and come summertime, I expect that my favorite will rotate to orange.

[gillyohan]

My favorite color is blue. For FPs, I mainly use Noodlers Bad Blue Heron and Lamy Blue-Black (iron gall).

[Kelly G]

Favorite ink color? that depends on what I'm doing. For general writing it is Black or Blue Black; corrections to written materials - red, lately Diamine Monaco Red; for highlighting, Year of the Golden Pig - I'm going through that stuff like water.

[Okami]

Green especially blue green

I like dark green (Zhivago !). I'd like to try brown though.

[JohnCruzNg]

I love the color orange. My favorite ink is Noodler's Apache Sunset Orange because it has great color variations ranging from a deep red-orange to a light orange. I also like the color red which Noodler's Apache Sunset Orange has a ton of.

[Tortoise]

I live all shades of purple. My current fab is Diamine Amazing Amethyst.

[laoriginaltec]

This week I am currently loving brown (Noodler's Walnut). It's not to dark or to red in color.

[Sharkbait]

I love blue!(Bad Blue Heron)

[Koyote]

Blue. Especially a nice vivid blue with strong purple undertones. Private Reserve Tanzanite is great, as is Aurora Blue.

[Bourgeoisie]

My favorite color is purple - deep rich purple, but I prefer blues for FP's. Well, actually I can't really say I prefer blues... Ive never written with a purple =P
I like MB Black because I see a deep purple in it; if there were just a bit more I would be my favorite.

I'm a little confused about the time this contest is over, but everyone still seems to be posting, so I might as well post.

My favourite colour for writing is black, red, or brown. I don't really like blue or blue-blacks as much, or reds that are too bright.

Woops! Thank you for catching that. The time has been updated.

[Ted H]

Blue, but I write with black, mostly.

[canon]

I found a color that Richard Binder identified as Burple that I really like. It is sort of blue with a a hint of purple mixed into the blue ink. It makes a dark shade of blue.

[RR4U]

Lately i've been using Waterman South Seas (Blue), Waterman Violette (Purple), Waterman Havana (Brown), rOtring Brillant Brown and Parker Penman Ruby Red. Besides being very beautiful and very good quality, they're also nice for a change as i do (did) most of my writing with black or blue inks (which i like, a lot, and think to be essential colors).

To enter, just post a reply telling us what your favorite color is.

That one is always a difficult question for me... I guess it depends on mood, color of the stock I'm writing on and several other sort of ambiguous factors. Then when you add in the fact that I am colorblind and may not even be using the color that I think it is... well you get the picture. Needless-to-say, I try to avoid mixing my own inks.

The wife sometimes gets a little frustrated with me asking her "what color is this?" or "Does this color go with this other color?" Thank goodness for labels on the bottles!

Very Best Wishes,
Stephen P.

[JohnGerard]

I like red/brown the best, though use blue as well.

[JuicyJones]

My favorite color CURRENTLY is Private Reserve Midnight Blues.

Where did you even get those bottles of Scrip? Nice!

[carpedavid]

I love red inks and to a lesser extent orange. Iroshizuku Momiji is my current favorite ink.

[MaryMG]

My favorite ink color of all time is Skrip Peacock Blue.

[Kooky Chick]

My favorite color is definitely purple! My current favorite ink color is Noodler's North African Violet (V-Mail series). :-)

[bdpatton2]

Favorite color hands down is BLACK. I love contrast!!!
