Ink Dupes #16: Sailor, Platinum, and Pilot

As a reminder, this is my new format for ink dupes posts. Where, previously, my ink dupes posts were more like double reviews, now they’re about art. I know that isn’t a perfect translation to writing with the ink, but I’m doing my best to include “wet” sections with a lot of ink and “dry” sections with less ink to simulate broader and finer nibs, respectively.

Today’s post features Sailor x Disney Belle Yellow, Platinum Mixable Sunny Yellow, and Pilot Iroshizuku Daikokuten.

These three inks are all incredibly similar. While there may be minute differences in how they shade, unless you’re using them side by side in pens, I don’t think you’d notice the difference.

The Art

All three ink shade from a warm, sunshine yellow to a yellow-orange. At their palest, they are still readable on a page. At their darkest, they are bright and easy-to-read, but aren’t hard on the eyes. Can you tell which ink is which?

The Inks

Now, see how you did with your guesses. To see which ink is which, I’ve grayed and blocked out the other colors.

All Inks

As a reminder, here are all of the colors together. The purple square marks Belle Yellow, the green circle marks Sunny Yellow, and the blue triangle marks Daikokuten.
