What is your favorite ink(s)? (lemm.ee)

As the titler says - what is your favorite ink, and why? Does it change with the seasons or the use case?

I can start out. My current favorite is Diamine Oxblood. I'm not really sure why this is, but I like the color and it behaves nicely in my Safari. I also enjoy my Iroshizuko Tsuki-Yo, and I really like this color, but I have not tested this much. But I think it will be good in my AL-Star 2023LE Petrol! 😎

Does anyone know a nice Orange ink? It seems wild that I haven’t tried to find one of my favorite color, yet.

I really like Noodler's Habanero, southwest sunset (formerly Apache sunset) is also a crowd favorite. I also enjoy Pilot Yu Yake and Diamine pumpkin.

Southwest Sunset is gorgeous when combined with a broad nib and good paper. I'm gonna have to look for Pilot Yu Yake, I really like Pilot Fuyu Gaki but I'm not entirely sure if it's orange or not.

I just ordered Diamine Autumn Oak - not sure if it's good yet, but I'll know in a few days :)
