As the title says. I’m looking for orange ink. Not too bright, not too muted, ideally tangerine 🍊 colour but a bit dirty - imagine a tangerine tree growing next to a busy road. Available in Europe.

I use Diamine Pumpkin:

@cedled @Korvmedbrod It doesn't evaporate and form ink crud on the nib? A few Diamine orange colors do that. But dipping the nib in water reconstitutes the ink and washes it off.

@pixiecata In my experience, Diamine Pumpkin doesn't turn into a powdery gunk on the nib, like Diamine Ancient Copper does.

Most of my inks are Diamine and none of them does that. But I don’t have any oranges (except for Sailor’s Warning which is not really orange)

@Korvmedbrod I have many Diamine inks (except oranges), but this drying out ink crud phenomenon has been observed with just the oranges.
