Waterman Blue Black, I won't put anything else in vintage pens. Montblanc Midnight Blue in a more robust pen for "bulletproof" purposes.

The only ink I have in multiple pens is Lamy Black.
Mine would be Waterman Havana Brown.
No love for Waterman Florida/Serenity Blue? I use a variety of inks, but that's the one I consider my standard ink. Every new-to-me pen is filled with this ink first.
And Lamy Blue Black is my standard ink for envelopes.
Nope.
I don't use any single ink enough to call it a standard ink. I like change.
... Inspiration exists, but it has to find you working [Pablo Picasso] ...
One pen is always inked with an iron-gall ink,...usually Akkerman #10.
This ink is one of the darker IG inks that still registers a nice blue, once it has aged a bit on the paper.
My other favourites either turn too dark (MB Midnight, Diamine Registrars) or too light like R&K Salix. I love Salix though, for personal correspondence.
I guess my standard is the Akkerman #10
Make the best of each day & be thankful.....
My not so amazing mix of one part Diamine Onyx Black and one part Diamine Majestic Blue. I use it a lot for work correspondence so it's always at least in one pen.
Aurora Blue or Diamine Asa Blue.
+1 for Diamine Merlot, it's gorgeous!
I would say WFB, but I don't have any at the moment. Not my favourite by any stretch of the imagination, but it always looks good, behaves, and is appropriate.
Of the inks I have available, I wouldn't say any is a standard.
"What are moon-letters?" asked the hobbit full of excitement. He loved maps, as I have told you before; and he also loved runes and letters, and cunning handwriting, though when he wrote himself it was a bit thin and spidery.
Standard is quickly becoming 54th Massachusetts ink. Great characteristics and a great work color!

Diamine Grey or Prussian blue - both quite muted but different!

While I use a variety of inks and colors, my standard or go-to ink is Noodler's Black. With a little boost of Noodler's Old Manhattan Black, and even without the boost, it's Noodler's Black.
And then, as I said, the other inks, colors - and this is why I can't have just one pen.
In addition to all the other reasons.
I enjoy many different inks and colors, but I always have a Plumix inked with Namiki Blue. It's such a nice happy color with some water resistance. Unfortunately it left a small ring around the bottom of the binde area of my White Tortoise that I just cannot get rid of, so I do not use it in any pen that can stain visibly.
Namiki Black for me. The first ink that goes into every one of my pens, as I know it so well and it's so consistent. Desert island ink, it is.
For a couple of weeks it has been Waterman Intense Black but Diamine Quartz Black will probably replace it (maybe Saddle Brown too?)
I use Diamine Asa blue mainly, sometimes switch to Diamine Midnight. I have black ink, but I feel boring when I use black ink more than two days. I will clean my pen which fill with black ink and switch to another blue ink.
