In my little quest to try inexpensive Chinese fountain pen inks in the market nowadays I have tried Jinhao, Hongdian and Ostrich brands. Ostrich Evening Mist is a grey-green/celadon color with a hint of blush pink in swatches that pool. Flow is good, no feathering or bleeding. It comes in 10ml and 30ml (on the Shopee platform). Best of all, it is very affordable (USD1.80 for 10ml, and USD5.60 for 30ml) since there are no tariffs. Sample is with indoor light on old TR paper.
