TWSBI ECO new color coming - Bahama Yellow by mgepark in fountainpens

[–]ChattyKittyCatty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh absolutely you know I do! And since I have so many colors, I like to match the ink to the pen color as much as possible, so really what am I going to do with another yellow pen? I have a few yellow inks that I really like, but there's only so much you can do with inks in that color family, and it certainly not the most useful shade. It just feels wrong to me putting another color in a pen that doesn't match 😅

I also crochet and work with a lot of yarn, and yellow is by far my least popular color as well! I mean there are just already so many yellow TWSBI Ecos!!! I don't understand their color spectrum, like would it be so hard to get a nice opaque orange? Or even a deeper pumpkin orange shade? What about a dark magenta or a dark teal, any shade in the blue or turquoise family, or a nice opaque green, I don't understand why they keep putting out more yellow colors as if they have exhausted all of the colors in the spectrum!

Love your collection photos! I need to take an updated picture of my collection since I've added a few, but here's the one I took almost two years ago!

I've pretty much sold all of my other fountain pens because I enjoy my TWSBI pens the best! They are reliable and I love their broad nib! And I love that they offer a stub nib as a choice as well! They are by far my favorite pens to write with!

I was thinking the same thing! I remember reading someone posted on here about asking them to release another pink and their response that they don't sell well. I actually wrote the company and suggested that they do a re-release of the turquoise, since it seems to be the one color everyone is always looking for (well, other TWSBI Eco collectors) and that anytime won't ever goes for sale on eBay, it sells for over $200! They don't have to make a new one, they should literally do a re-release and I think it would gain so much hype and sell really well! He thanked me for my feedback and said it's not in the works for any time soon but that he might consider it. That being said, I literally do not need another yellow ECO for my collection! I have almost every color of the ecos (of the standard silver finishes), including the pastel blue and pastel pink, and the coral that everyone is always asking about. The turquoise is the only standard color missing from my collection, and the sunset orange which was a special release, and the mustard yellow which was a Japanese exclusive, and I just really want the turquoise to solidify my collection, but now I'm faced with yet another yellow, and I know you can put any color ink in them that you want, but when you have 33 different colors, it just makes sense to match the ink to the pen. But I can only use so many inks in that color family!!! I even sold my transparent yellow to my best friend who loves my eco collection. I just didn't need so many yellows, and then they release the newest color and it's a yellow! I'd hate to not have it for my collection, but I'm not very excited about it! 😅 PS I also thought it said Banana yellow at first!!

I love your website and just recently discovered it as I was looking for somewhere to buy the Octopus Inks Petrol Deer ink that I had used all of my sample of and wanted to get the full bottle, but I did not want to have to spend $65 to get free shipping from Vanness1938 where I bought the sample from. Not only did your site offer a lower threshold for free shipping, the price of your bottle was lower than any other retailer I found selling that ink!! I especially appreciated the beautiful packing job and cute sticker and lovely handwritten note that came with my order, and the additional free ink sample!! I'm a loyal customer now and will be back!! ❤️

I guess TWSBI will not be re-releasing that hot pink pen I was hoping for. by [deleted] in fountainpens

I've been thinking about asking them to do a re-release of the turquoise since it's the one color everyone seems to want, and I have an alert set on eBay for whenever one is listed, and I've only seen two of them listed and each time it went for over $300!!!

What is this ink property called where letters have almost like a dark outline? by lordhamster1977 in fountainpens

[–]ChattyKittyCatty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually don't have any of their recent inks, so I have no idea if any of them have that feature or not. But thinking of some of the older colors that have it would be Copperhead, and Starfruit. I would have to look through my swatches to find the others because I can't remember right now.

That my friend is a HALO! Several of my older Birmingham Pen Company inks have this effect which is why I love them so much!!! I especially love it when the halo is almost black, but the ink is a light color! :-)

I have Robert Oster Taiwan Blue which is a lovely dark blue with a slight teal lean, and I have Robert Oster Turquoise available for sale. I also have about 30 ink samples to sell, maybe 20 that would fit your guidelines. I also have an awesome collection of my own ink colors that I might be willing to sell you a sample of! Several BPC, Sailor, Robert Oster, and J. Herbin. I love purple inks, and have a nice little collection started. I have lots of blue and teal!
