I’ve found that bright red inks on the market seem to contain too much of a cool undertone and lean too far towards the blue side of red. Occasionally I can find a red that is bright but ends up look too orange. When I first saw this ink, though, I knew I found a great ink.
Thank you to Dromgoole’s for providing a bottle of this ink for the purposes of review.
Anne of Green Gables – one could be forgiven for imagining this would be a green ink, but no – I personally imagine it was chosen as a bright red to reflect Anne’s red hair in the story.
My favorite feature of the ink is the incredible gold sheen that shows up no matter what paper is used – haloing around every letter.

Wearingeul Anne of Green Gables has lately become my favorite bright red ink. It can be found at Dromgoole’s for $25 for 30mL.

The soil on Prince Edward Island is also quite red. That might be another reason for the red ink.
