I love everything on the right page - the dusty pinky brown of Platinum Brun Sepia, the olive green Robert Oster Melon Tea, the greyish Wearingul Stonecutter's Song and the golden olive Robert Oster VanPen 86 - love them!
Such a great comparison! 3 Oysters Caramel Macchiato reminds me of KWZ Cappuccino, which is gorgeous, and KWZ Brown-Pink is another interesting choice from them.
Interesting, my preference is to the inks on the left hand page. Perhaps those are "warm browns". Stonecutter's song has been highly rated but it does not appeal to me.
My favourite brown ink is Sailor Ink Studio 673. Browns, greens, grey and burgundy are my favourites. I like a lot of the colours you swatched today. Thanks for sharing.
For people looking into Kiowa Pecan: it has been renamed to just "Pecan". You'll have to research "Kiowa Pecan" to see examples but buy "Pecan". As much as I love Kiowa Pecan's appearance, it is one of Nathan's least stable inks. When it behaves itself it has a wonderfully leathery appearance. I am 95% convinced that Nathan mixed Apache Sunset (renamed Southwest Sunset) with his Standard Brown. You'll get a brown with a reddish undertone only when you're using a juicy pen. Otherwise expect a mix of orange and/or brown with yellow in the drier areas. And that is only if you mix the ink well prior to using it. The two colors don't like to mix. I've had the ink separate within a day inside my pen. So treat it like a shimmer ink. If you don't make an effort to get both colors to mingle, you might wind up with just orange (albeit a nice, rusty orange). Admittedly I live in a colder area, so your mileage may vary. Lastly, Pecan takes a while to dry. It is not as bad as Noodler's "it takes a day or more to dry" lineup, but lefties will smudge the punctuation. Sadly, I can't use it to write notes or letters, nor is it professional enough for an office environment, but it is tons of fun to use. I use it in the fall and early winter to write my daily recap in my planner and then leave the planner open so that it can dry overnight. I plan to try out some Diamine inks in the same vein to see if I can find an acceptable replacement. All of this is on top of Nathan's typical inconsistencies. If the Noodler's brand doesn't bother you, also consider Beaver and Walnut. The former is a black cherry red/brown and the latter (one of my favorites) is a chocolate brown with red depth. I've never tried the former but Walnut needs the same warning label as Kiowa Pecan. Mix well and don't expect the ink to be dry within seconds. Furthermore, Walnut is really bad with showthrough. But gosh! is it beautiful!
I really enjoy these videos. They really help me decide on which inks to add to my collection. Thank you. I fell in love with 3 Oysters Caramel Macchiato and Robert Oster Melon Tea.
What a gorgeous collection of browns! They are all unique, and it’s awesome to see such a range on one page. I definitely lean towards the right page, except for SBRE Brown, which has that beautiful orange undertone, and makes me think of my favorite leathers. Thanks so much for sharing! I hope you are cozied up and enjoying the snow today! 🧡😸
I'm loving these colors. I have stonecutters song inked in a pen this month and I absolutely love it. I have it in an EF nib so the color isn't as pigmented but it's beautiful. I really want to try the Brun Sepia. I also love Opera Rose and brunch date. I have brunch date inked up too 😁 Love your videos. Thanks for showing us these gorgeous inks.
The stonecutters song looks amazing! Definitely want to try this. A member of my family is going to South Korea early next year so I am hoping they can pick me up some amazing inks. South Korean ink companies seem to produce such incredible ink!!
I think my two favorites are 3 Oysters Caramel Macchiato and Platinum Brun Sepia. I guess I gravitate towards warmer browns and even pink-browns. Stonecutter’s Song looks lovely but to me that leans more grey than brown. Great video!
Hiiiiii!!!!! ooooh these are so gorgeous! i'd say my favorite is the Sepia... love that pinky brown the best . It was so cold and rainy and miserable today. I wish it would snow a little- i'd like a white Christmas.
lovely swatching as always Liane. The Platinum Brun Sepia is very similar to Robert Oster's Plumb Nut if you are liking those kinda vintage pinky/brown colours. The winner for me out of your swatches today is the Stone Cutter's Song.. it's kinda like a mushroom grey/brown with the lavender undertones 🤩 gorgeous
Mushroom grey/brown, an apt description! Thanks for the RO ink comparison, I will have to look into plumb nut, what a cute name. I’m definitely into pinky browns these days!
I like the Golden Brown and the Stonecutter's Song the best. I want to try Caffe Crema, but I'm afraid it's more similar to the browns I have in my collection; those are Herbin Lie de The and Noodler's Stockyard Signature.
@@lianelikes Been a year since I made this comment and I bought a new sample of Golden Brown and there must of been a formula change. Its like a Deep burnt orange with some shading. I'm so sad I didn't get a bottle of the original sample. First world problems 🥲🥲🥲
Really enjoyed your video! Love your glass nib, i would love to see how long you’re able to write before re-inking! Beautiful browns! Are any of them considered ‘shading’? Really lovely soft background music too! I’m on the island in Victoria (directly across from Port Angeles! Another question, why would the go all the way to Vancouver Pen Shop, when i imagine there would be all sorts of pen & ink shops all over Seattle (i LOVE Seattle!). Thank you! ❤ ~kari
Thank you! I think a lot of these browns would be wonderful shading inks, not so much the darker ones. Surprisingly, there aren’t a lot of shops dedicated to fountain pens in Seattle!
Incredible, incredible content... loved this uber-relaxing "meet-and-greet" of my favorite color... and fall/autumn is also my fav... Please keep this sort of events comming... just so engaging... Our hobby is so import... and this is reason-enough "why fountain pens..." epic pantheon of fall-earthy shades. Please, stay safe... with warmth and kindness... Xerxius Maximus
Can anyone out there confirm or deny that Wearingeul's Stonecutter's Song is similar enough to Diamine's Earl Grey that if you own one you don't need the other?
Who controls the British crown? Who keeps the metric system down? We do, we do Who keeps Atlantis off the maps? Who keeps the Martians under wraps? We do, we do I like Stonecutter's Song.
I love everything on the right page - the dusty pinky brown of Platinum Brun Sepia, the olive green Robert Oster Melon Tea, the greyish Wearingul Stonecutter's Song and the golden olive Robert Oster VanPen 86 - love them!
Yup, the left side is nice but the right side is where the party is 🎉
Love your descriptive words for the inks! Brown inks have become some of my fave inks!
Lol!
Such a great comparison! 3 Oysters Caramel Macchiato reminds me of KWZ Cappuccino, which is gorgeous, and KWZ Brown-Pink is another interesting choice from them.

Seeing the caramel macchiato colour makes me crave for one 😆
I have tried the Moneteverde Moonstone and it is wonderful... reminds me of the Wearingeul you showed
I will have to give that ink a try. Don’t have many Monteverde inks but have heard lots of good things about them.
This is the most visually pleasing ink swatch video I've ever seen. That thumbnail 🤤 ❤
I have the noodlers golden brown . These are all new inks to me. Thanks for the video.
My favourite brown ink is Sailor Ink Studio 673. Browns, greens, grey and burgundy are my favourites. I like a lot of the colours you swatched today. Thanks for sharing.
Oh, I will look into 673. Sailor ink studio inks are gorgeous…
If you love warm browns, check out Noodler's Kiowa Pecan. The red and yellow tones to it are just gorgeous!
Ah, thanks for the recommendation!

WOW, this is such wonderful information! Good to know about Pecan, I will see if I can get a sample to give it a try!

SBRE brown totally reminds me of a richly colored leather! We took advantage of the snow and headed to the mountains!
All of these are beautiful to see swatched. I’d like to try a sample of the Noodlers Golden Brown.

Love your videos. Thanks for showing us these gorgeous inks.
Thanks, Priscilla! If you enjoy Stonecutters song, then I think you would enjoy brun sepia, definitely.
The stonecutters song looks amazing! Definitely want to try this.
A member of my family is going to South Korea early next year so I am hoping they can pick me up some amazing inks. South Korean ink companies seem to produce such incredible ink!!
Oh I hope you get the loveliest of inks from Korea! 🥰

Thank you! You should try Colorverse Brunch Date then, it’s a beautiful pinky brown ink!
Hiiiiii!!!!! ooooh these are so gorgeous! i'd say my favorite is the Sepia... love that pinky brown the best . It was so cold and rainy and miserable today. I wish it would snow a little- i'd like a white Christmas.
I hope you get a white Christmas! Thanks for sharing Brun Sepia with me, it’s one of my favorites!
I have SBRE brown and I love it but I’m looking to add a less saturated one to my collection, it’s helpful to see these side by side!
Thanks, Katie!

I really like Noodler's Golden Brown and Robert Oster Melon Tea. The only one I have is SBRE Brown, which I use often.
Thanks for showing off these brown inks. All are beautiful. Hard to pick my favourite 😅.
Regards, Patrick
For all the lefties out there: Noodler's Golden Brown can sometimes take hours to dry. It's a beautiful ink though-like writing with liquid gold!
I like the Golden Brown and the Stonecutter's Song the best. I want to try Caffe Crema, but I'm afraid it's more similar to the browns I have in my collection; those are Herbin Lie de The and Noodler's Stockyard Signature.
Yeah, I’m not sure if I’d buy a bottle of caffe crema, but golden brown is definitely on my list.
Nice! I'm into cacao powder like colors at the moment,
so Wearingeul Stonecutter's is beautiful.
too bad I can't find it anwhere.
Anyway, thank you!
Noodlers golden brown is one of my favorite inks! If you like that ink,you might be interested in Noodlers Kiowa Pecan.
Thanks for the rec! I’ll have to look into it!

What lovely words, thank you! I’m glad you enjoy the brown inks video!!!
SBRE Brown looks a lot like Diamine's Saddle brown.
Can anyone out there confirm or deny that Wearingeul's Stonecutter's Song is similar enough to Diamine's Earl Grey that if you own one you don't need the other?
That would be good to know! I haven’t tried earl grey so I’m curious to know!
Dominant Industry is another Korean ink company that makes beautiful inks.
Thanks Francois, I am excited to try more of their inks!
oo Stonecutter's most pleasing ._.
Who controls the British crown?
Who keeps the metric system down?
We do, we do
Who keeps Atlantis off the maps?
Who keeps the Martians under wraps?
We do, we do
I like Stonecutter's Song.
I didn’t know it was an actual song!
