Ask the Nerds: I have a lot of ink colors. Any ideas?

Thom T. from Concord, MA asks:  I love using lots of different colors of ink.  I collect every new shade I find, especially green inks!  Can I use them in my notebooks?

 

Well sure!  Maybe it’s the nostalgist in me but I LOVE my Bic 4-Colors.  I know that fountain pens have LOTS of colors available but I know precious little about them.  I remember reading that author Neil Gaiman uses a different color each day so as to help him differentiate when a thing was written.  Another option is to use a different color for different topics.  This one could be limiting, though.  I, personally, tend to just use whatever suits my mood.  Lately, it’s been a dark green or pencil (usually 2B).  Let us know what you decide and how it works out for you!
