Lakbay by Vinta
Vinta’s Lakbay is a gorgeous light blue ink with a coppery-pink shimmer that really pops in the light. Beware clogging with this one- but it’s absolutely worth a little extra effort.

What a gorgeous ink! It reminds me of Tala, but a lighter blue and with more intense sheen.
There are a hundred mid-tone blue inks that sheen red or pink now. Every maker has one, and they all perform just about exactly the same, so far as I can tell. In fact, they might all be the same formulation- who knows?
Lost by Wearingeul is a lovely grey-toned blue ink that shades gorgeously in any sized nib.
I still have more pens than I need, but that allows me to have multiple pens inked up with different hues of the month’s color (for journaling), as well as ones for swatching inks here on the blog and for writing letters in Yours, Etc.
Although more orange than I expected, this smooth, wet ink shades well and has a large amount of gold shimmer to it. If you want an ink reminiscent of a flame, this is the best that I can recommend!
This aptly-named ink is a mouthwatering warm brown hue that shades to golden. It writes on the wet side, but worked well even in a Medium nibbed Kaweco.
This color is so oddly named to me, as (in my experience) moonstones are a cloudy/milky stone with a rainbow/holographic effect. But still, this cool-toned brown is a nice hue and a very well behaved ink.
Isabela is a gorgeous shading, shimmering pink-brown ink. It behaved beautifully for me in a flex nib.
You cannot find a more Fall-perfect ink! The copper shimmer lays down so evenly and consistently, I kept getting distracted by the liquid ink looking like magic (or molten metal).
