This is the Diamine Inkvent 2023 day 6 door:

Day 6’s ink is Diamine Buck’s Fizz. It’s a chameleon ink.

Wow is today’s ink eye searing! Diamine Buck’s Fizz is a light orange with a lot of chameleon shimmer that shades from green to silver to orange and salmon and gold. There’s some shading to it, and so far it’s one of the lightest inks in this year’s Inkvent.

The chameleon effect from another angle:

I had to look up what Buck’s Fizz is as I don’t (and have never) drunk alcohol. This ink likely evokes the drink and so is aptly named, but it’s impractical for writing, as it’s much too light. With a broad or wider nib your writing would be more legible, but Diamine could have gone with a darker orange to make this more practical. Then again, I don’t think that this ink is meant to be practical.

Today’s bear is from the same maker as yesterday’s bear, so it’s also tiny, clothed and has a domed head. I bought the pair of them together in a bear shop in York.

Here’s the actual bear:

I won’t be buying a bottle of Buck’s Fizz and I’ll likely be dumping out this ink and cleaning out the pen because I don’t see myself finding use for it. If you use fountain pen inks as highlighters or a fan of fun orange inks then this ink is for you. What do you think? Is there room for Buck’s Fizz in your ink collection?
