My 10 Favorite Yellow Inks

I decided it would be fun to tackle some of my favorite inks based on color so today let’s take a look at my ten favorite yellow inks, in no particular order. Yellow inks can be so hard! Some are too light to be readable and some are rather fluorescent, it’s hard to find the good ones.

Robert Oster Gold Antiqua is a dark gold with shading. I love using this ink in the winter months.

Robert Oster Heart of Gold is the perfect gold shimmer ink. I love using it on holiday cards.

Bungubox Ebizu Gold is perfect for the winter or spring, it’s a great neutral gold.

Franklin-Christoph Honeycomb is right in-between yellow and brown depending on what paper you use it on.

KWZ Honey has gorgeous shading. It really is the color of honey.

Robert Oster Yellow Sunset is bright while still being readable.

KWZ Old Gold is the color of tarnished gold.

Colorverse Adobe makes me think of desert sands.
