Where I can, of course. Right now I've got Tsutsuji in a Safari and Party Time in an Al Star. The rest are random combinations. I've yet to find a pen I like that plays well with Hana Ikada, or Pink Sugar Beach.

Probably because I need more pens, and more ink.

@iamnotacat Always more pens. Always more ink. Resistance is futile.

It can be extremely satisfying, especially when you get the exact shade.

I used to do this, but I am drowning in way too many inks now to color match all the time lol

I often match maroon ink to maroon pen. Otherwise, I do it less often than I used to as I'm mainly using permanent inks now (not as many available colors).
