I was able to pick up the Sailor 2024 Pen Show Exclusive ink somewhere along the Pen Show Trail this year and finally had a moment to uncap and check out the color. The label suggested a yellow-undertone dark green so I was stoked to give it a try. My initial swatch card was so…
Today’s review is another for the definitely not peach files. In fact, I would have slotted this one in with the Living Coral of 2019 inks! Kobe #12 Okamoto Pink ($30 for 50mL) is a bright pinky coral ink with beautiful shading. There’s no sheen, but tons of lovely pinks and corals. It reminds me…

I find that particularly confusing, because I assumed Sailor Jentle Pêche meant peach (pêche means peach in French). On the other hand the…
I have just a few more new-to-me inks to sample/review in my ongoing quest to find peach inks that relate to the Pantone color for the year. I would say today’s ink is of mixed success. I think it might actually come closest to what I was looking for (though it is still missing that…
