About InkPalette

InkPalette helps you find a fountain pen ink by colour, by a photo, or by the feeling you want on the page.

What you can do here

  • Pick a colour, or upload a photo of something you love, and see inks whose swatches come close.
  • Open any ink to see its swatch, how it writes, and notes from other people who use it.
  • Compare inks side by side, keep a wishlist, and read short guides on choosing and caring for ink.

How much is here

2,070 inks from 117 brands have their own page today. Swatch images and colour data come from InkSwatch.

Who runs it

InkPalette is a personal project, built and run by one person who loves fountain pens and the colours they leave on paper. It is made in spare time, not by a company.

The diary on note

I also keep a diary on note, written in Japanese, about the inks I use and small moments of writing. InkPalette is the tool for finding an ink; the diary is where I write about living with one.
