Diamine Ochre is a wet-flowing brown ink with a warm, orangey base that shades dramatically from dark brown to burnt orange, particularly in broader nibs. It features notable gold sheening and is well-behaved on quality paper, though it has low water resistance and moderate show-through. The ink works well across various nib sizes and is suitable for everyday writing and journaling, though the high dye concentration may require more thorough cleaning.
