Some letters look a bit orange/yellow others are a dark red. This is a fun color to write with.

Hansen from Michigan, USA   The colour of this ink went beyond my expectations, and on certain papers it can be truly, pleasantly, surprising (I've tried in on heather cover-stock, and gotten the most luminescent burnt orange!). My only complaint would be the high degree of feathering on lower quality paper.

It's a nice deep, rusty, and earthy red and also has a decent amount of shading (although nothing too extreme). The ink has worked well with all of my pens and I haven't had a problem with hard-starts or skipping because of the ink. I tend to lean towards deeper and darker colors and Antietam is perfect if that's what you're looking for. When I bought Antietam I didn't think I'd be able to write with it often because red isn't one of those "standard writing colors" (black and blue), but I've actually used this color pretty often and gotten away with it as a student. I love it and definitely recommend it. As far as drawbacks go, when working with the ink it does look like blood. I had a few stains on my hand that made it look like I was bleeding and when I wiped excess ink on a paper towel or something it looked like I had just wiped up blood. Shocked my fiancŽe a few times.

January 26, 2013 Reviewer: Ephriam from VT, United States   In my fine-nib Safari, this color comes out as an orange, almost red, with hints of amber.  I will definitely be buying a bottle with a future order.

Exhibits nice shading in all pens I've tested it with. Was this review helpful to you?   0 of 0 people found the following review helpful:   Rusty, blood red color for red ink lovers. November 9, 2012 Reviewer: Lani C. from MD United States   I have been looking for a beautiful red ink that isn't too candy bright or brick-ish. This color is a wonderful rusty, drying (not dried) blood red and I love it. The swatch is a bit more orange/golden than the color I get using my Namiki Falcon SF. It does feather a tiny bit on Moleskine Volante paper (variable qualities across batches, I know) and it also feathers on a generic sketchbook paper I bought from a bookstore, but on better quality paper, it's a dream and shades a bit. Love this color so much.

It is not blood red, but dried blood red.  I showed it to a number of M.D.'s, who remarked on the dried blood color before I mentioned it... By the way, for Southerners, it should be Sharpsburg, not Antietam! Long live Noodler's, I love it... Was this review helpful to you?
