Alma Mahler wrote BIG. Even on letter size paper she rarely managed to get more than four words on a line!

That's pretty much the colour of the ink that Mahler's wife, Alma, seems to have used all her life.

Yama budo?

This is so synchronistic. I was inspired by your website to ramble up I didn't know that was Alma's favorite colour...

As for the colour no....

I love this. I learned something again!

That's what I wanted to say, but I suppose I should guess too.
I'm seeing eggplants again.
Kaweco Summer Purple/Aubergine?

No. Not really...

[Yazeh]

Nope. Not really. This is more on the pink/ fuchsia spectrum...

Noodler's Kuprin?

(Is it known what inks Alma Mahler used?)

[david-p]

Diamine Noel.

I do not know what ink she used, but she had a plentiful supply. Mahler used a fountain pen for all his later compositions; but I dont know what make.

[DrPenfection]

Colorverse Andromeda?

Bravo! This is it

[mizgeorge]

Colorverse Andromeda?

Bravo! This is it

Oh! I only went for that because of the sheen. I've always thought it was a pretty colour, but thanks to Colorverse's bizarre packaging, it's one I will never buy. Why they just can't make straightforward, normal size bottles of single inks is beyond me.

I'll post in a moment with another on-my-desk ink

I was going to go for a new pen today, but the first that came to hand was another oldie. Not quite so old in terms of years, but one of the ones I've had for the longest.

And surprise surprise, it's green...

Diamine Umber?

[mizgeorge]

Diamine Umber?

OK. It wasn't meant to be that easy!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

It is indeed Diamine Green Umber - one of my all time favourite inks.

Now I'm off to check my webcam settings...

[Yazeh]

Thanks mizgeroge.
If anyone wants to jump in and propose an ink, I'd be much obliged.

[mizgeorge]

I'm going to post the other half of the pair then! Give me a couple of minutes to scan...
