Krishna Palasa is a bright medium orange ink. It has a subtle silver sheen to it that really just makes it shiny at certain angles, and good shading. It’s also incredibly dry – it was only tolerable to use in my wet writer. Possibly related, it did not play well with Tomoe River – it was weirdly glassy, like the ink didn’t want to adhere to the page. This ink lands solidly in the “great color, not so great performance” bucket.
