Verdict

Gold is my favourite metallic colour, and it goes well teal (my current favourite colour). This isn’t as good as, say, a Fine Tec metallic watercolour, but it’s great in a pen. I used it in the Mango Lamy Safari for a while. I haven’t felt the need to try a different gold, but I probably should. It handles just wonderfully for my purposes, but will not write on black paper (this is no surprise).
