Top Monteverde Ink Colors:
The most popular Monteverde ink colors are: California Teal, Caribbean Blue, and Blue Velvet Cake.
I wanted to say that it was interesting that they’re all shades of blue, but then…Monteverde California Teal ink is more of a greenish turquoise. Regardless – they’d all make fairly solid everyday ink choices.
Top Pilot Iroshizuku Ink Colors:
The most popular Pilot Iroshizuku inks were Grain of Rice, Horsetail, and Kon-Peki (Cerulean Blue). The 1st two were flying off the shelf partly because those who enjoyed the ink knew it was being discontinued and they were about to lose access to reordering it. However, Kon-Peki ink is widely known as one of the most classic of classic ink choices out there.
Top Sailor Manyo Ink Colors:
The most popular Sailor Manyo ink colors were Haha, Hinoki, and Fuji. Haha is one of the original Manyo releases, but the other two are the brand’s new dual-shading inks added to the popular Manyo ink collection that were available for pre-order for a few months before their actual release date.
Top Noodlers Ink Colors:
The most popular Noodlers ink colors were: Black Swan in Australian Roses, Antifeather Blue, and Bulletproof 1984.
Top Diamine Ink Colors:
The most popular Diamine 30ml ink colors were Writer’s Blood, Ancient Copper, and Oxblood, which is interesting because we regularly get questions about the three of these specific inks and how they compare to one another.
