As the titler says - what is your favorite ink, and why? Does it change with the seasons or the use case?

I can start out. My current favorite is Diamine Oxblood. I'm not really sure why this is, but I like the color and it behaves nicely in my Safari. I also enjoy my Iroshizuko Tsuki-Yo, and I really like this color, but I have not tested this much. But I think it will be good in my AL-Star 2023LE Petrol! ๐Ÿ˜Ž

Big fan of Iroshizuku inks. My favorite is Yama-Budo.

Fun mixing recipe from u/migo984: make a faux Lamy Dark Lilac by mixing 3 parts Yama-Budo with 1 part Shin-Kai.

Iroshizuko is truly great! :)

Oops totally forgot to say why I like Yama-Budo. I think it's really striking, which makes it refreshing to look at compared to my daily black, blue, and red ballpoints at work.
