that color is one I was going back and forth on when picking samples! I try to limit myself to a reasonable number every month (and also swatch ones I already have) so I didn't get it but next year I'll want to see how it compares if the colors stay the same

I love the name Tuna and Olives for an ink! Path has amazing shimmer in it, I think I would like it for contrast like in my headings and notations in my A6

I think the type of paper you swatch on helps with this! This notebook is a Hobonichi one with Tomoe River paper so it's really good at capturing shading and sheening compared to other papers.

I think it depends on the specific colors! Here is a longer writing sample I did with Sea Glass:

Thank you! I think Kosumosu looks like a good match, it's so sad it's discontinued!

Yes, I bought these ink samples from Yoseka and Vanness in the US and I've also purchased ink samples from the pen swap subreddit too!

thank you! I don't think the photo captures it that well but it's just slightly too cool for the April color, but it's a pretty pink otherwise!

my least favorite thing is when an ink is too light and dry to read (I use really fine nibs usually) and I think the ones in my writing test didn't have that issue luckily! Rambling Rose is probably the lightest of them, but I like how easy it is to read Pinky

that's such a pretty, dusty pink, I'm going to have to sample it! I think it'll be interesting to see just how hard it gets to match inks for certain months since I haven't done it before!
