These are the inks that I currently use. One of the best findings the last year is that one can use a broad calligraphy nib with a sunshine yellow ink (or any other ink of a light and bright hue) as a highlighter pen. Much nicer – and more functional as well – than ugly fluorescent highlighter colours in ugly pens that always dries out fast – even if you cap them. My faves among these are the Sunshine Yellow, the Monaco Red, the Royal Blue and the Mediterranean Blue. Lovely colours for everyday use.

Diamine Med Blue is one of my favourite blues, almost turquoise but still easy to read.
Yes, it is very eye pleasing!
