As a newcomer to the world of fountain pens, I am very intrigued by the number of inks available with visual appeal that you cannot get from ordinary ballpoint and rollerball pens. I've come across a number of inks that have rather unusual and exciting properties to them, and I was hoping to start a list of them. Here is what I have heard about so far. Feel free to add to the list, or discuss any of these inks.
1. Noodler's Rome Burning is a golden-yellow ink that turns purple when you get it wet.
2. Noodler's Manjiro Nakahama Whaleman's Sepia turns from brown to red to purple with the application of bleach.
3. Noodler's General of the Armies fades from green to blue.
4. Various Noodler's inks, such as Dragon's Napalm, and Blue Nose Bear fluoresce under UV light.
5. Diamine Majestic Blue, Private Reserve Electric DC Blue, and Parker Penman Sapphire are blue with a distinct red sheen.
6. Robert Oster Fire and Ice is turquoise with a distinct red sheen.
7. Pilot Iroshizuku Yama-Budo is pink with a distinct yellow/gold sheen.
8. Aurora Blue/Black seems to be a mixture of black, blue, and red components, which are each distinctly visible.
9. The entire J. Herbin 1670 Anniversary line has heavy sheening and shimmery glitter.
