Excuse me if the following thoughts do not seem fully formed or well-articulated. I am having trouble thinking through this one! And excuse me for agonizing/obsessing.
What do folks think of gray inks for correspondence and the like? Are these inks suitable for rather formal items? I am thinking here of inks like B&B 5 O'Clock Shadow and Pilot Iroshizuku fuyu-syogun, so rather dark grays, I suppose with either some green, some blue, or both.
I am a big fan of both of these inks. I like the way they look in a journal or notebook. In part, I think they have a bit of a pencil look to them.
Also, they look distinctive to me, while being fairly subtle. I have been writing a number of business related thank-you type notes good faux-engraved, off-white card stack recently using the 5 OCS. I think I like the look, but it occurred to me that they make look a little informal, as in toward "pencil." Also, they may come out a bit light on the off-white stock. Sorry no photos.
In any event, what do folks think of grey inks in general as well as for my particular application?
